Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies AEBI Ltd Israel

AEBi was established in the year 2000, and has been managed since then based on the idea that the ability to manipulate and design peptides has vastly superior advantages to many, if not any, existing and trajectory technologies of drug development. This idea is valid today as well.The basic idea is that we do not require a natural lead or a sequence (usually coming from the academia or other research) which are either not strong enough or not specific enough and difficult to manipulate in order to create a drug.
An artificial high complexity pool, representing a broad spectrum of  possibilities, manipulated by our technology, will provide the best possible solution. Such a  solution  will not be hindered or blocked by natural interactions and will be very specific to the problem.
AEBi, a development-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in discovery and development of therapeutic peptides, has developed a combinatorial biology screening platform technology (IP protected).
The major advantage is that it can be used not only to find binders to known targets, but to select the best functional molecules among them. AEBi's platform is very flexible, exploiting combinatorial biology to discover new and better lead compounds to disease targets.

Our Breakthrough SoAP Platform:
-------------------------------------------------
Our platform provides functional leads to very difficult targets (functional leads - agonist, antagonist, inhibitor, etc.), not merely those that best bind with the target.

Moreover, it allows us to develop drugs to many illnesses, among them CANCER and COVID19, and is expected to transform the drug discovery R&D phase by significantly reducing the attrition rate of new drug candidates.
This Breakthrough technology generates very specific lead compounds with greater functionality and improved pharmacological properties. Such lead Compounds will allow more effective drugs and fewer side effects. The need for such technology is acute and pressing for many reasons. The sole external requirement in the screening process is a Defined Target (usually an illness-related protein).

MuTaTo: our Multiple Targeted Comprehensive Cancer Therapy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This new cancer treatment is a personalized medicine concept, that can be also turned into a "shelf product". The main principal of it is using multiple targeting peptides connected together with a toxin. The main advantage of it is that it would lower the probability of the targeted cancer cells to develop drug-resistance due to mutations they possess, and at the same time would lower adverse effects due to avidity effect. Each cancer patient would receive a specific drug perfectly suited to his/her cancer, based on the expression profile of receptors on the outer membrane of their cancer cells. This therapy's construct production is easy and rapid. Therefore, the production cost would not be as expensive as with other biological drugs, or other sophisticated cancer treatments.
MuTaTo our Multiple Targeted Safe Cancer Therapy is DIFFERENT and UNIQUE because:
----------------------------------------------------------------
1- It is EFFECTIVE on almost all types of CANCERS because we will develop a MuTaTo molecule for every type of cancers.
2- it is SAFE on healthy cells and DOESN'T cause any suffering to patients.
3- unlike other cancer therapies that attack cancer from only one or 2 targets at most , MuTaTo is DIFFERENT because it attacks cancer from at least 3 targets so that cancer DOESN'T metastasize nor develop drug resistance.
4- MuTaTo can treat almost all types of cancers even rare one and is effective on all cancer stages even terminal ones.
5- our MuTaTo is so versatile it can be:
a) used as personalized Cancer therapy where each cancer patient would receive a specific drug perfectly suited to his/her cancer, based on the expression profile of receptors on the outer membrane of their cancer cells.
b) or it can be mass produced as a "shelf Product - Oncolytic Drug" to treat different cancers with different indications, so we will have not just one MuTaTo Drug, but a COMPLETE FAMILY OF MuTaTo DRUGS, to treat almost all types and indications of Cancers , from all stages, even rare and Terminal cancers.

Aequor, Inc. United States

Aequor discovered a new genus and several new species of marine microbes that produce “green,” non-toxic chemicals that target Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, and uniquely remove biofilm in minutes and prevent biofilm formation for long periods of time. They kill the antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria and fungi alone and as "potentiators" of very low doses (sub-MIC) of otherwise ineffective antibiotics, including Penicillin, to kill the AMR "Superbug" pathogens.
Biofilm is the first resistance response of microorganisms to protect themselves against environmental stresses and is associated with most infections and diseases. Removal of biofilm by surface scraping, UV, heat, biocides and antibiotics, etc. signal to the underlying microorganisms when and how fast to build a thicker biofilm shield.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) associate biofilm with 90% of hospital-acquired infections, such as those caused by contamination on indwelling medical devices, ventilators, and water and air systems. The CDC recently reported that 20% of U.S. COVID deaths were due to these secondary infections. Additional life-threatening infections are increasingly traced to biofilm in air and water systems in institutional and commercial buildings and homes. For example, Legionnaire’s Disease, which claimed 17 lives, was traced to biofilm in a hotel’s air conditioners that became aerosolized and inhaled. It is no coincidence that every pathogen on the CDC and WHO lists of urgent threats, pandemic threats, and bioterrorist threats is a biofilm-former. Every drug-resistant “Superbug” strain is a biofilm-former and is considered incurable. Additionally, several microbial species are captures in the same biofilm, increasing the incidence of horizontal gene transfer (Li et al., 2001; Angles et al., 1993; Dunny et al., 1995) and spawning the emergence of new antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains.
There are few remedies for biofilm. Physical removal (sterilization, scraping, UV) works for a short-term (e.g., biofilm was recorded on a titanium plate within 30 seconds of sterilization). Biocides (antiseptics, disinfectants, antimicrobials, and antibiotics) are designed to kill free-floating (planktonic), actively growing microorganisms, and the dose of needed to disrupt a biofilm is approximately 1000x the concentrations that are effective against planktonic bacteria (Raffa et al., 2003), which is a dose that is lethal to humans. The overuse of biocides and antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of the AMR Superbugs – and left a cumulative and persistent environmental footprint. Natural antimicrobials, such as silver and other metals, are expensive and eventually trigger the formation of thicker biofilm, resulting in the loss of efficacy over time.

Plan in China
Aequor seeks a collaboration with a chemical company with the expertise in natural marine products to confirm the structure of the primary natural molecule that Aequor discovered and to scale up novel analogs as new drug candidates via chemical synthesis. This collaboration would ideally be structured as a license of the source marine products and chemicals produced by them as new drug candidates to kill he antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacterial and fungi and prevent their spread. Thereafter, Aequor will seek a licensee of its new drug candidates for AMR targets. The unmet need for therapeutics and prophylactics is high. In 2019, 2.7 million people died from AMR infection and disease.

AlephBot Israel

AlephBot is developing a new paradigm in healthcare, the procedure monitor.
The solution helps medical teams maximize treatment efficiency during and after medical procedures (e.g., resuscitation, labor, general anesthesia). It provides the team members with valuable real-time information that is adaptive to their actions and to the procedure’s stage, even if they are under pressure or can’t recall procedure steps by heart. AlephBot also automatically documents the medical procedure, which serves for both medical education and medico-legal purposes.

** AlephBot uniqueness **
We capture the human perspective of a procedure by analyzing the relevant info from the on-going structural medical conversation. We add this layer to the data collected from other sources.
Therefore, we gain higher accuracy of the analyzed medical situation, which enables us to identify the procedure stage and provide meaningful info, in real-time.

** Status **
AlephBot is developing its core technology. The company, pre-seed funded, was selected to the DRIVE accelerator at the Technion (Israel institute of Technology), and received grants from the Israel Innovation Authority.
AlephBot cooperates with big and small hospitals from day one. This serves our intention to increase treatment efficiency both in mega-hospitals in big cities and in smaller ones in the periphery and rural areas.

AlephBot is active in its target markets (Germany, France, Italy and the US) and won several national and international (France, Germany, Denmark) events and competitions. The company is still not active in China - an opportunity!

** Next steps **
We are currently looking for seed investment to finalize our core technology development and bring the product to clinical trial stage in two years. Sales are planned in three years, post regulation clearance.

ARJUNA Therapeutics United Kingdom

We are a European oncology start-up developing an entirely novel platform of small molecule drugs to cure currently untreatable cancers.We wholly own a pipeline of molecules that are active via novel mechanisms in cancer and several other therapeutic areas.
The mechanism of action of our lead drug, Ag5, targets cancer cells generating high levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). High ROS tumours are, in general, untreatable. This group of cancers includes KRAS-mutation driven cancers, which comprise around 30% of all cancer cases, and the worst prognosis group. There is currently no treatment for KRAS mutant cancers, which lead to more than 1 million deaths worldwide every year.
Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), the commonest primary brain cancer, is also a high-ROS cancer, despite the absence of mutated KRAS. There have been no new treatment options in GBM for 20 years, and prognosis is poor-averaging 18 months.
We have a follow-on compound and a pipeline of innovative molecules addressing both cancer and non-cancerous conditions.
We are raising a series A round which will allow us to gain clinical proof of concept.
