With a strong foundation of preclinical evidence, Resalis is progressing RES-010 into clinical trials, offering potential disease-modifying effects and a safe, convenient therapeutic option for patients suffering from various metabolic disorders.

ALKemist Bio

Seed Round in 2023
ALKemist Bio is focused on developing innovative cell treatments for cancer patients, specifically targeting ALK-positive cancer cells. The company is engaged in the creation of TCR-T cells designed to recognize ALK antigens present on these cancer cells, with a primary emphasis on treating non-small cell lung cancer. By harnessing the power of the immune system and engineering T cells for precise targeting, ALKemist Bio aims to provide more effective treatment options that enhance the standard of care for patients suffering from this type of cancer.

Repron Therapeutics

Seed Round in 2023
Repron Therapeutics focuses on developing innovative treatments for patients with solid tumors that cannot be completely removed through surgery, where the likelihood of metastasis or recurrence is significantly high. The company leverages advanced healthcare technology to inhibit oncogene activity based on tumor characteristics, utilizing engineered synthetic factors. This approach aims to target and eliminate residual tumor cells at the primary site or address micro-metastases in critical organs, thereby improving outcomes for patients facing challenging cancer diagnoses. Repron Therapeutics is committed to addressing the complexities of tumor malignancy and enhancing treatment options in oncology.

Sibylla Biotech

Series A in 2022
Sibylla Biotech developed small molecule folding interfering degraders (FIDs) that can address a range of therapeutic areas.

Kither Biotech

Series B in 2022
Kither Biotech is a pharmaceutical product company that focuses its R&D activities on the development of new drugs. The R&D activities of the company mainly involve the development of new drugs to treat chronic inflammatory diseases. In recent years Kither has focused its first line of activities on the development of a small peptide (KIT2014) developed internally for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, a disease that predominantly affects the lungs and that currently has no cure. The KIT2014 peptide was assigned the Orphan Drug designation from the European Medicines Agency. The KIT2014 compound is currently undergoing the pre-clinical phase of clinical development. Kither’s product portfolio also includes a molecule (CL27), also developed internally, that is being developed for the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases and Allergic Asthma. The company is about to start the pre-clinical phase of development of the CL27 molecule.
