Centauri Therapeutics is a UK-based biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel molecules targeting life threatening diseases. The Alphamer technology is based on "programmable immunity" in which chemically synthesised molecules redirect naturally occurring antibodies to selected pathogens to fight the infection. The molecules have two distinct parts: one end binds a cell-surface target on the pathogen using an aptamer whereas the other end presents specific epitopes that attach to the circulating antibodies. It has been demonstrated that Alphamers have the potential to redirect pre-existing antibodies to bacteria in a specific manner and trigger an immediate antibacterial immune response, so clearing the infection. Centauri Therapeutics’ strategy is to redirect naturally occurring antibodies to target disease. Centauri Therapeutics' unique Chemistry Platform provides a flexible scaffold to enable the synthesis of specific Alphamers. These are bifunctional molecules which present a selective cell binding moiety as well as an epitope that recruits pre-existing antibodies, resulting in cell killing. Centauri Therapeutics believes their technology is widely applicable in the treatment of life threatening infectious diseases. Companies with an interest in accessing Centauri’s Alphamer technology or with an interest in one of their current projects, are warmly encouraged to contact them to discuss partnering opportunities. In order to drive success in the important area of immuno-oncology, Centauri Therapeutics has established a joint venture, Avvinity Therapeutics, with Horizon Discovery in March 2016.

MabVax is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization of proprietary anti-cancer immunotherapies resulting from two integrated and successful technology platforms. The first is a series of vaccines developed at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and licensed to MabVax. Two of the company’s lead cancer vaccines are currently undergoing proof of concept Phase II multi-center clinical trials for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and ovarian cancer. Both trials have received $2MM or more in federal grant monies. The second is a human antibody discovery platform developed internally and based on the protective immune responses generated from patients who have been successfully immunized against targeted cancers with the licensed vaccines. The company’s lead human antibody candidate is undergoing preclinical evaluation for development against colon, pancreatic and breast cancers and has received $1.1MM in federal grant monies.

HepaRegeniX is developing drugs for treating acute and chronic liver diseases that effectively restore the regenerative capacity of hepatocytes. The therapeutic concept is founded on research by Professor Lars Zender’s group at the University Hospital Tübingen, which identified mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) as a key regulator of liver regeneration. Work by Professor Zender’s team showed that using small RNA molecules to suppress MKK4 gene expression restored the regenerative capacity of hepatocytes, even in severely diseased livers. Founded in 2015, HepaRegeniX is developing small-molecule MKK4 inhibitors to treat liver disorders, potentially including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
