Solarea Bio is a biotech company focused on developing microbial therapeutics to treat chronic inflammatory conditions and improve human health. They specialize in researching and creating natural-based therapeutics to address chronic inflammation, providing hospitals with effective medicinal options. By studying genomic sequences of microbes found in healthy foods, Solarea is able to create combinations of bacteria, fungi, and prebiotic fibers that have strong anti-inflammatory properties to target specific chronic illnesses. Their research has been tested in lab and animal studies, with their first application designed to help manage metabolic processes that lead to osteopenia and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Founded in 2017 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Eric Schott, Gerardo Toledo, and Jillian DeWalt, Solarea Bio offers a natural solution to improve women's health and well-being.

Eclipse Bioinnovations is a leading RNA genomics company founded in 2017 based on technology developed at the University of California, San Diego. Eclipse's mission is to use their pioneering RNA genomics platform technologies to advance RNA medicines and scientific discovery. Eclipse’s founders developed eCLIP, the world’s most efficient and unique CLIP-seq technology for identifying RNA binding protein gene partners and gene maps. Eclipse’s suite of RNA genomics technologies now cover eCLIP-RBP for mapping the RNA binding proteins, miR-eCLIP for the miR-interactome, m6A-eCLIP for RNA modifications, End-Seq for 5' and 3' mapping, and FLI-Seq for simplifying Crispr library prep. Products are offered as services and kit for biopharma companies and academic researchers, and can be customized for clients.

Aspen is developing induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to address diseases with high unmet medical need, beginning with autologous neuron replacement for both sporadic and genetic forms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and extending across the brain and affected organs.

VST Bio is a biotechnology company that offers and develops treatment for vascular diseases.

Gate Bioscience is a biotech company that is developing a new type of medicine called Molecular Gates. These drugs are small molecules that selectively remove harmful extracellular proteins from inside the cell, where they originate. There are more than 4,000 extracellular proteins produced by humans, and over 1,000 of them can cause diseases when they function incorrectly. Molecular Gates aim to eliminate these disease-causing proteins, thereby eradicating the associated diseases for patients. The mechanism of action for Molecular Gates is unique, as they bind to a single channel in the cell through which extracellular proteins pass when they are secreted. By creating a "gate" in this channel, the Molecular Gates can block and recognize specific disease-causing proteins, preventing their exit from the cell. Consequently, the harmful proteins are degraded by the cell rather than being secreted. Gate Bioscience's mission to develop Molecular Gate medicines is supported by Versant Ventures, a16z Bio + Health, ARCH Venture Partners, and GV. For more information, visit www.gatebio.com.

EpaleX is developing a novel inhaled treatment for epilepsy and migraine. The treatment for the first time provides a way for patients with epilepsy to gain control over their seizures. When a seizure warning sign (aura) occurs, the patient will be able to prevent the development of a full-blown seizure through the use of a pocket nebulizer to deliver a powerful antiseizure medication that rapidly enters the brain and stops the seizure. The effect of the drug dissipates within minutes, allowing the patient to resume normal daily activity. The inhaler is also used to stop migraine attacks that are refractory to currently available migraine treatments.

iQure Pharma is a biotechnology company founded by entrepreneurs and ex-pharmaceutical executives that specializes in creating innovative treatments on a global scale.
