FivePrime is dis­cov­er­ing and devel­op­ing novel ther­a­peu­tic pro­teins and anti­bod­ies by sys­tem­at­i­cally screen­ing all rel­e­vant pro­teins in the human body to find the best pro­tein for treat­ment of a given clin­i­cal indi­ca­tion. FivePrime’s Pro­Screen Engine enables the rapid pro­duc­tion and screen­ing of all ther­a­peu­ti­cally rel­e­vant pro­teins in medically-​​focused assays at the high­est qual­ity stan­dards in the indus­try. This pow­er­ful approach is the polar oppo­site of the industry’s tra­di­tional “one pro­tein at a time”. The Pro­Screen Engine com­prises the defin­i­tive pro­tein col­lec­tion and screen­ing process for bio­log­ics dis­cov­ery and is unprece­dented in its effi­ciency, qual­ity, and scale. In addi­tion to DBL Investors, investors include Domain Asso­ciates, Ver­sant Ven­tures, Kleiner Perkins Cau­field and Byers, Texas Pacific Group, Health­Cap, and Advanced Tech­nol­ogy Ventures.

Darmiyan has developed a novel, proprietary, patent-protected technology called The Virtual Microscope (Software Algorithm). Using a non-invasive routine clinical brain MRI scan, The Virtual Microscope technology looks into the human brain and localizes and quantifies cell distortion (neurodegeneration) in every voxel of brain MRI generating new brain maps. The first clinical product of this technology is BrainSee, an AI-powered algorithm that has completed a successful third-party validation in the US and Canada establishing a remarkable accuracy and consistency for prognosis of mild cognitive impairment. It is built on over 40 years of cutting-edge neuroscience research combined with advanced medical image analysis and AI, and has received official approval from the late Prof. Paul Greengard, Nobel Laureate in Physiology/ Medicine 2000.

immatics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery of true targets for cancer immunotherapies with the development of the right T cell receptors. The company's customized Adoptive Cell Therapies (ACTengine) and antibody-like TCR Bispecifics are the two main product classes in the pipeline (TCER). With a focus on particularly difficult-to-treat solid malignancies, each therapy modality has unique characteristics to create the desired therapeutic impact for patients at various disease stages and with various types of tumors. immatics biotechnologies was established in 2000 by Hans Rammensee, Harpreet Singh, and Steffen Walter in Tübingen, Baden-Wurttemberg.

BioVex is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of biological treatments for cancer and the prevention of infectious disease. Their cancer program, OncoVEXGM-CSF, is a oncolytic vaccine or cancer destroying virus technology that works by replicating and spreading within solid tumors, causing the death of cancer cells while leaving surrounding healthy cells unharmed. The attenuated virus has also been constructed to induce a powerful systemic anti tumor immune response. OncoVEXGM-CSF has now been tested in >110 patients in a broad range of solid tumors including melanoma, head & neck cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. Both the direct cell killing and systemic immune mediated mechanisms of action of OncoVEX have been clearly validated in the clinic; OncoVEX routinely destroys tumors it is directly injected into and has led to overall disease responses in multiple patients in Phase II testing. Tumors resolved through OncoVEX treatment have not been known to recur.

Avidia, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, engages in discovering and developing therapeutic proteins.

Filgrastim and pegfilgrastim are a supportive part of treatment for many patients receiving cancer chemotherapy. Some cancer drugs, in addition to attacking the cancer, destroy the patient's white blood cells, which are extremely important in fighting infection. Consequently, these patients are prone to developing severe, and even life-threatening, infections. Filgrastim and pegfilgrastim restore the number of white blood cells and thus improve their ability to kill infecting micro-organisms.
