Pyramid Biosciences, Inc. is a biotechnology company based in Waltham, Massachusetts, established in 2015. The company specializes in discovering and developing targeted therapeutics that address disorders regulated by the tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) family.

Notable products in development include PBI-100, which offers anti-itch, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative effects for dermatological conditions, and PBI-200, an orally active TRK inhibitor designed to overcome resistance mutations associated with existing TRK inhibitor therapies in oncology.

VeraDermics is a San Antonio-based dermatology company founded in 2019 that specializes in innovative drug delivery systems aimed at treating skin conditions, particularly warts. The company has developed a dissolvable microneedle patch that offers a pain-free immunotherapy treatment, stimulating the body’s immune system to combat the wart virus effectively. The patch functions similarly to a Band-Aid and is applied to the skin for less than an hour. During this brief application, the microneedles, which contain immune stimulators in a sustained-release polymer matrix, dissolve and penetrate the skin. After removing the adhesive, the microneedles remain embedded in the skin, gradually releasing the immune stimulators over several weeks to target the wart. This approach allows medical practitioners to provide a convenient and effective wart treatment that minimizes discomfort for patients.
