Libera Bio

Libera Bio develops a new family of cancer treatments based on its patented actively targeted delivery technology to intracellular targets (MPN – Multifunctional Polymeric Nanocapsules) and on novel monoclonal antibodies (e.g. anti KRAS), with the goal to have them commercialized by large biopharma companies after regulatory approval for clinical trials or early proof-of-concept in humans.

Libera Bio lead candidate aims at providing a new treatment for those highly prevalent and aggressive cancers which are driven by KRAS mutations, such as pancreatic cancer, lung cancer and colorectal cancer.

Maculus Therapeutics United States

Company:
Maculus Therapeutix is a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on finding practical solutions to treat chronic diseases of the retina and optic nerve such as wetAMD (Age related Macular Degeneration) in the Ophthalmology space with a novel tunable biodegradable proprietary product – MacuBloc™ capable of delivering any FDA approved drugs for Wet AMD to the site of the disease. With its unique suitability for targeted and extended delivery of drugs to back of the human eyes, MacuBloc™ offers significant benefits to Wet AMD patients over existing products: a single intravitreal injection that lasts an year instead of the current 10-12 monthly injections plus significant potential reduction in inflammation, infection, doctor visits and total cost of care compared to current practice.

Market:
The global market size of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is currently $7.7B, growing at 7.6% CAGR and is expected to reach a value of $11B by 2025. Current standard of care involves 10-12 monthly injections with a 30 gauge syringe needle going through the eye sclera, often resulting post-injection pain and possible infection due to repeated injections in a small area as well as ruptured blood vessels in the sclera. By reducing the number of injections from 10+ to just ONE, MacuBloc™ formulation is likely to be a treatment of choice.

Plan in China
Our plan is three-fold. First, we would like to invite any partnership opportunities in china in areas of marketing and distribution to Tier-2 and Tier-3 hospitals. Second, we believe that Maculus is an excellent early stage opportunity that chinese investors can become part of. Third, we also invite any china-based companies willing to license our novel MacuBloc™, a tunable and biodegradable formulation technology ideal for carrying any approved drug so as to provide targeted and extended drug delivery not only in our current focus of Ophthalmology but in any other disease therapy applications.

Mission Bio United States

Mission Bio unlocks the ground truth of cancer through response, relapse, and remission with its Tapestri Platform, powered by single-cell multi-omics. As the first and only to analyze genotype and phenotype simultaneously in single cells, the Tapestri Platform can help unravel the inherent complexity of cancer. The technology discerns key biomarkers to stratify patients more precisely, signal treatment resistance as it begins, and predict relapse for better patient outcomes. Application areas include blood cancers, solid tumors, and genome editing validation.

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), and the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) have leveraged the Tapestri Platform to support their research for characterizing clonal dynamics in a variety of cancers, identifying minimal residual disease (MRD), and monitoring treatment response and therapy resistance. The company’s award-winning technology is also leveraged by LabCorp and Agios to enable more efficient clinical trials.
