7 Hills Pharma is a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing a platform of novel, oral small molecules for the treatment of cancer and prevention of infectious diseases. Our compounds are first-in-concept allosteric integrin activators that leverage a unique mechanism of action to stabilize the cell-cell interactions required to mount an effective immune response. Our lead clinical candidate, 7HP349, is the only reported systemically safe immune stimulant that can activate both cellular and humoral immunity.

Base Pair Biotechnologies, Inc. offers rapid discovery of high quality aptamer (DNA- and RNA-based) affinity ligands. Aptamers have been successfully employed in virtually every application where antibodies are typically used. Aptamers have a number of potential advantages over antibodies, however, in a variety of applications. Base Pair Bio's aptamer discovery is powered by a patented, multiplexed approach to aptamer identification. This and other chemical enhancements result in better DNA affinity ligands.

Marker Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical stage immuno-oncology company, engages in the development and commercialization of various T cell-based immunotherapies and peptide-based vaccines for the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumor indications. Its MultiTAA-specific T cell technology is based on the expansion of non-engineered tumor-specific T cells that recognize tumor associated antigens and kill tumor cells expressing those targets. The company’s MultiTAA-specific T cell therapies include autologous T cells for the treatment of lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and various solid tumors; and allogeneic T cells for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is also developing TPIV100/110, which is in Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of breast cancer; and TPIV200 that is in Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancers. Marker Therapeutics, Inc. is headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Memgen is a clinical-stage biotech company developing viral immunotherapies to harness the power of the immune system to potentially cure cancer and to protect people from infectious diseases. The Company’s pipeline products all utilize its proprietary CD40L transgene, MEM40, which has already demonstrated the ability to elicit powerful, antigen-specific immune responses. The Company’s lead cancer immunotherapy, MEM-288, was developed in collaboration with Moffitt Cancer Center. It is an oncolytic virus engineered to selectively target cancer cells and to supercharge the immune system through expression of two unique and powerful immune modulators: MEM40 and the powerful cytokine interferon beta. MEM-288 generates a strong systemic anti-tumor immune response following intra-tumoral vaccination in multiple tumors. Memgen is close to completing the monotherapy part of a clinical trial in advanced/metastatic NSCLC. Memgen's vaccine adjuvant, MemVax, is designed to be used in combination with other vaccines to generate a strong, durable immune response. MemVax is a highly specific immune stimulant that can work with antigens across a range of delivery approaches. Memgen has over 100,000 doses of MemVax ready to go into clinical trials, and an active file with the US FDA. Memgen plans to soon begin clinical trials of MemVax in collaboration with other companies developing complementary vaccines.
