NMD Pharma

Venture Round in 2022
NMD Pharma is a small molecule drug discovery company that develops novel treatments of neuromuscular disorders. Research by the founders working on the neuromuscular junction identified an approach that has not previously been exploited but shows great promise. Importantly, the approach improves neuromuscular transmission in a way that is potentially applicable to a range of clinical indications and orphan human diseases that have profound unmet medical need.

MISSION Therapeutics

Venture Round in 2020
MISSION Therapeutics Ltd. is a biotechnology company based in Cambridge, United Kingdom, focused on discovering and developing small-molecule drugs that selectively target deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs). The company's pipeline includes promising candidates such as USP30, which is aimed at treating Parkinson's disease and cancer, and USP7, which is recognized as a significant target in oncology. In addition to these, MISSION Therapeutics has various DUB programs that address conditions in oncology, neurodegeneration, rare mitochondrial diseases, kidney disease, and inflammation. Founded in 2011, the company is actively engaged in advancing its innovative drug development platform, which capitalizes on the ubiquitin pathway to enhance protein homeostasis and offers potential therapeutic options in several challenging medical areas.

MTM Laboratories

Acquisition in 2011
mtm laboratories AG is an ISO 9001 and 13485 certified developer and manufacturer of In-Vitro Diagnostics for the early detection and diagnosis of cervical and other cancers. With headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany, and subsidiaries in the United States, France, Italy and Spain, mtm markets its proprietary CINtec(R) Histology Kit and CINtec(R) Cytology Kit as adjunct tools for the early detection and diagnosis of cervical cancer. These kits are based on mtm's proprietary E6H4(TM) antibody clone which was specifically developed for immunochemistry applications in both formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections and alcohol fixed cervical cytology preparations. The target for mtm's cervical cancer early detection technology platforms is the evaluation of the over-expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16INK4a. This sensitive and selective antibody clone is combined with GMP manufactured kit components to ensure reproducible quality and results.
