​EpiBloc

EpiBloc develops precision drugs for autoimmune diseases. The company has developed an immune mapping platform allowing researchers to identify epitopes that disease-causing autoantibodies are targeting. The epitope peptides discovered with our platform are then used to selectively eliminate disease-causing autoantibodies. The company will capitalize on its proprietary immune mapping platform Mimotope Variation Analysis (MVA) by developing applications in-house along with finding partners interested in applying MVA to develop diagnostic tests and precision drugs. MVA delivers a high throughput analysis of the antibody repertoire to identify disease-specific antibody profiles via epitope peptides. This was previously difficult due to the vast number of antibodies making it near impossible to account for antibody diversity and understand correlations to specific diseases. We have solved this by combining random display libraries and machine learning algorithms allowing us to capture millions of antibodies and pinpoint their involvement in various diseases.

​EraCal Therapeutics

The biotech-company EraCal Therapeutics Ltd. develops a novel anti-obesity drug (Era-107), which outperforms the current standard of care in efficacy and in safety in zebrafish, mice, and rats.

​OncoLize BV

OncoLize BV (2017- the Netherlands) develops injectable drug depots based on generic chemo drugs, now reformulated for local and slow release of the drugs inside solid tumors.

The polymer-drug formulations are injected straight into the tumor with thin, long needles where they form solid depots within seconds, and slowly erode, while gradually releasing their cargo inside the tumor from days to weeks, as designed. Small molecule drugs, peptides and MAb's are release with >95% bioactivity. Autoclavable.
​ 
The technology platform has been scaled-up and proven extensively in non-clinical settings with the biggest Pharma partners and academic medical centres in other disease indications such as Diabetes, Osteo Arthritis and Tumor Vaccination.OncoLize is a carve-out from the InGell Labs company from Groningen - NL, established and managed by the founders of the InGell® technology, Mike de Leeuw and Leo de Leede.

SeaGull Therapeutics SAS

SeaGull Tx is a biotech company developing a mutated semaphorin 3A (SGL10060) to reprogram the tumour microenvironment for the treatment of solid tumours. By reprogramming the TME using SGL10060, strong inhibition of tumour growth, significant decreases in hypoxia and metastases and pronounced increases in anti-tumoural immune cell populations are seen, showing efficacy as a monotherapy. When used in combination SOC treatments (both chemo and IO), significant enhancement in efficacy and reduction in resistance are seen. The company was created in Strasbourg in 2017 and has seed funding of €1.2m. We are looking for €16m to take the product through to the end of Ph IIa. Production has already been derisked with early process development showing antibody level titres. The company operates using a lean structure, with key experience internally planning and driving outsourced execution.

​SiBreaX

SiBreaX develops drugs based on targeted drug delivery via silicate nanoparticles. For the first time, SiBreaX nanoparticles allow for the efficient intracellular delivery of proteins, peptides, and RNA, as well as for the specific delivery of drugs to lung tissue – thereby opening access to breakthrough therapeutics. As the first, easily accessible lead drugs, SiBreaX develops improved drugs for respiratory diseases based on targeted delivery to lung tissue thereby reducing side-effects and increasing efficacy. In addition, SiBreaX partners (co-development, joint ventures, licensing) with pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs requiring targeted delivery. Leveraging the full potential of the technology, SiBreaX strives to develop breakthrough drugs based on the routine intracellular delivery of peptides, proteins, and RNA. SiBreaX unique novel drug delivery system is comprised of triggered-breakable silicate nanoparticles. The nanoparticles encapsulate almost any drug type at a high load, deliver drugs within the capsule to distinct tissue, and release the drug at the target site via a site-specific trigger. Fast degradation of SiBreaX particles via the trigger ensures safe use. SiBreaX targeted drug delivery allows for the administration of problematic substances, the reduction of side-effects of drugs by targeted delivery, and facilitates intracellular delivery of drugs. Notably, SiBreaX nanoparticles allow for the efficient intracellular delivery of proteins, peptides, and RNA as well as for the specific delivery of drugs to lung tissue for the first time. Leveraging the technology, SiBreaX opens access to the development of numerous innovative drugs. SiBreaX is a Swiss BioTech company headquartered in Zurich.

​Synendos Therapeutics

Synendos Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical company founded in 2019 as a spin-off of the University of Bern. Synendos develops a new class of small molecules that modulate the endocannabinoid system with a new mechanism of action by hitting an as-yet unprecedented drug target. These molecules act as selective endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitors (SERIs). The design and development of second generation SERIs started in 2012 from an in silico ligand-polypharmacophore screening of 12M compounds which was followed by an effective medicinal chemistry program (in collaboration with a CRO) that led to the identification of a preclinical drug candidate (2019). SERIs are covered by solid IP protection (four patent families). First-in-man, phase I trial is expected for 2020/21. SERIs are first-in-class inhibitors that represent an innovative therapeutic approach for central nervous system diseases characterized by (endo)cannabinoid deficiency. SERIs are the only modulators that can restore the full spectrum of endocannabinoid activities acting with a self-limiting mechanism of action. This offers the advantage of a safe and effective treatment that enables endogenous polypharmacology by restoring the normal functioning of different neuronal circuits in the brain. Synendos aims to develop a new breakthrough therapy for neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by endocannabinoid deficiency, with a special focus on anxiety and mood-related diseases, in particular post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which has a high unmet medical need. In addition, Synendos envisages to create a promising pipeline by exploiting the exclusive access to the endocannabinoid transport mechanism and developing third generation target-based SERIs with a broad applicability in the area of neuropsychiatric, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. The development of SERIs was supported by a number of non-dilutive grants (NCCR-TransCure, University of Bern, EIN-Roche, Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Society, Innosuisse) and Synendos is currently supported by BaseLaunch (phase II grant) and Venture Kick (stage I grant).
