Dr Yu and colleagues have developed a machine-learning technique that processes lung images and makes an accurate and automatic diagnosis.

WNT Scientific

Columbia University

People with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA) experience pain and limited jaw function. Approximately 10 million Americans are affected by TMJ OA, and current treatments are invasive and have high failure rates. Furthermore, palliative treatments aimed at increasing short-term function don't prevent disease or promote regeneration of tissue. StemGEL, WNT Scientifics' solution to this problem, uses fibrocartilage stem cells to regenerate cartilage. They have a paper in Nature Communications (along with several other publications) detailing the successful results. The market size of TMJ OA patients that can be treated by StemGEL is approximately 2.6 million.

Yale University

While obesity is a growing worldwide epidemic, there are few effective treatments. This technology aims to inhibit a degradation pathway, therefore increasing heat and calorie burn in patients with obesity.

ArrePath

Princeton University

Antimicrobial resistance is emerging as a growing global threat. Currently, more than 10 million people per year become infected by drug-resistant bacteria and those numbers are predicted to grow exponentially in the coming years. There is thus a pressing need for new antibiotics, and in particular for antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action. To address this need we have developed a novel pipeline for rapidly determining the mechanism of action of candidate antibiotics. With this approach we can fundamentally change the traditional antibiotic discovery pipeline by focusing our efforts on compounds with novel mechanisms of action (instead of the traditional efforts that prioritize based on chemical features and efficacy, leading to the rediscovery of similar compounds time and time again).

OptiCardio

FindOA

University of Pennsylvania

Osteoporosis affects 50 million Americans and over 200M people worldwide. 50% of hip fracture sufferers lose ability to walk and 20% of suffers dye from it. Over 2M fractures and 300,000 hip fractures occur annually in the U.S. resulting in $20 billion and $12B in annual healthcare expenses, respectively. Currently, greater than 50% of the individuals with osteoporosis are not detected by bone density testing, the standard-of-care diagnostic test. This technology is a high-resolution MRI & CT analysis tool evaluating 3D bone structure and allowing for accurate assessment of (i) bone strength and health, (ii) osteoporosis development risk, and (iii) hip fracture risk. This imaging-based early diagnostic and prognostic for osteoporosis and hip fracture risk has data from over 1000 patients.

This wearable sock technology monitors persons with heart failure for exacerbations as well as response to treatment. The socks monitor for changes related to heart failure specifically, leg edema, using stretch sensors, and fatigue using actigraphy and gyroscopes. Data is sent by blue tooth to an app which is run through an algorithm in a secure cloud that triggers a message to the individual with HF, a trusted other and/or their provider of changes in their condition. The ultimate goal is to improve heart failure management to keep persons with heart failure home and out of the hospital with a better quality of life.

TAIRIS

University of Pennsylvania

There are 230 million surgeries performed per year worldwide. Surgical experience is the primary factor dictating outcome of each operation. However, surgical experience is not quantifiable, not accessible as a data source, and not easily distributable between users. This leads to variability in outcomes, complications, inefficiency, and high costs in surgical care delivery. What if an artificial intelligence (AI) platform could be designed that would quantify and learn from surgical experience, then customize and distribute tailored information back to all surgeons in real-time?

Triursus Therapeutics

Stanford University

Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a severe immune response in patients after transplantation, such as bone marrow transplantation. GvHD is costly to treat and has a high mortality. The current strategy for preventing GvHD include general immuno-suppresent drugs, with limited efficacy and side effects. Therefore, a more targeted approach is needed to prevent GvHD. This technology is a monoclonal antibody which targets cell surface markers on intestinal crypts, which is the primary site of immune attack in GVHD.

Apeiros Bioscience

Yale University

Our goal is to develop a new cancer drug that is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). It targets the pi subunit of the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid Receptor (GABRP) that is aberrantly expressed in a broad range of solid tumors. The target was discovered by the Pusztai lab and a provisional patent application has been submitted. We will use the Blavatnik Fund to perform affinity maturation, generate humanized anti-GABRP antibody conjugated to emtansine and assess the anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo.

Pulmera

Stanford University

Pulmera enables x-ray visualization of the tracheobronchial tree to aid physicians in guiding endoscopic tools in the pulmonary tract. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital for improving lung cancer survival rates, and tissue biopsy is necessary for diagnosis. However, performing a lung biopsy is difficult due to the complexity of the highly branched airways of the lung, making it difficult to access and obtain the tissue and the procedure can pose a risk to the patient. Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is the safest way to obtain a biopsy but diagnostic success is limited by poor real time visualization of significant portions of the lung. Should the biopsy procedure be unsuccessful, patients may then need to have the tissue surgically removed. In a high number of these cases, the nodules are found to be benign. Pulmera will greatly improve the ability to obtain a diagnosis for the patient using ENB.

Parallel Works

TRAIL Immuno-Oncology Therapeutics

Cornell University

90% of cancer-related deaths occur due to metastasis. While effective therapies exist to treat primary tumors, treatments to slow/stop metastasis remain ineffective. While immuno-oncology is a new avenue for fighting these metastasized tumors, priming the immune cells has proven difficult. Here, the lab of Prof. King demonstrates a new method to functionalize immune cells. This technology can be applied to metastatic forms of prostate (1.1 million men diagnosed in 2012) and colorectal cancer (1.2 million cases diagnosed in 2015.)

A proof-of-concept radiofrequency (RF)-penetrable PET insert has been developed and successfully tested, supported by grants from the NIH, Stanford Bio-X & Biodesign programs, and the Coulter Foundation.

Episteme Prognostics

Dartmouth College

Cancer patients, after the first diagnosis often ask, “how bad is my tumor and what should I do if it is bad?” In about half of all cancer patients, the first line of chemotherapy fails, disease recurs, and patients die. Episteme has succeeded in targeting a specific epigenetic signature of pancreatic cancer patients, which could potentially be reverted by epigenetic drugs making the tumors amenable to chemotherapy. Episteme invented a novel microarray-based platform technology called “ATAC-Array”. This proprietary technology avoids the time and cost of next-generation ATAC library sequencing – the only microarray that reads chromatin accessibility. No other test provides such a comprehensive, cost-effective and clinically useful epigenetic summary. Episteme offers a personalized theragnostic test utilizing ATAC-array, histopathology and immunohistochemistry, to predict chemotherapy response and stratifying cancer patients to epigenetic (reprograming) therapy for better outcome and better quality of life.

Lifeguard

Yale University

Patients who undergo life-saving cardiac procedures (such as aortic valve replacement) are often exposed to a related harm: stroke, infarction, and brain injury. These strokes are due to the release of emboli, or particulate material such as a plaque, that travel in the blood from the heart to the brain during surgery. In response to a growing body of evidence of this problem, Lifeguard is a neuro-protective device that provides coverage to all three aortic arch takeoffs. Lifeguard is led by Yale Professor of Medicine Dr. Alexandra Lansky and Yale Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering Dr. Tarek Fahmy.

POLQi Discoveries

Yale University

1 in 400 Americans carry a breast cancer gene (BRCA) mutation - such a mutation increases the likelihood of developing breast cancer from 12 to ~70% by age 80, and raises the lifetime risk of ovarian cancer from 1.3% to 44% (BRCA1) or 17% (BRCA2). Additionally, men with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations are also at increased risk for breast and prostrate cancers, and both men and women with either mutation are at an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. BRCA proteins are essential for DNA repair, making BRCA-deficient cells (i.e. those with a BRCA mutation) susceptible to synthetic lethality and providing an opportunity to kill cancers with the mutation. PARP-inhibitors invoke synthetic lethality to kill BRCA-mutated cells via PARP-trapped lesions, however cells can become resistant to this mode of therapy, creating an unmet clinical need for these cancers. Indeed, nearly 300,000 new cases of breast or ovarian cancer will be diagnosed in 2019, making the need for an improved synthetic lethality agent urgent.

Folate Supplements

Cornell University

Folic acid supplements are used for preventing severe birth defects by maintaining the DNA integrity in the developing embryo.

Despite it being a rare disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a costly and deadly condition of the pulmonary artery. Verso therapeutics is pursuing an HDAC inhibitor as a treatment for PAH which restores normal pulmonary vasculature unlike existing treatments which fail to address the abnormal architecture.

piRNAgen

Yale University

A Novel Platform to Develop piRNA-Based Therapeutics for Cancer Treatment. PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) is a novel pathway for nucleic acid based targeted therapy. piRNAs consist of small non-coding RNAs that interact with PIWI proteins. The PIWI/piRNA pathway protects the genome from destabilizing transposon activity by using piRNA to guide PIWI proteins to transposable genome sites, leading to gene specific methylation in somatic cells. piRNAs offer potential advantages because the longer piRNA seed sequences results in higher target specificity, higher tissue specificity, higher efficacy, and lower toxicity over siRNA and miRNA techniques. Short-term focus is currently on treating liver cancer because of the relative ease of drug delivery and lack of effective treatments.

AddGraft Therapeutics

University of Chicago

AbSeek Bio

Vanderbilt University

The human immune system participates in complex interactions with virtually all other systems in the body. In particular, the B-cell component of the adaptive immune response plays a role in various disease settings, including infectious disease, cancer, autoimmunity, cardiovascular, hematologic, neurologic diseases, and others. In addition, antibodies (a product of B cells) are effectively used in diagnostics, therapy, and prevention. To address these significant challenges with current technologies for B cell characterization and antibody discovery, we recently developed a novel technology that, for a given sample, enables the mapping of antibody sequence to antigen specificity from a single high-throughput experiment for a large number of antigens and B cells at a time.

Asyst Therapeutics

Yale University

Our data shows via genetic and pharmacological studies that the Ire1alpha-XBP1 pathway is a novel genetic interactor of Pkd1 and can strongly modulate the progression of ADPKD in murine models by protecting Pkd1 kidney cyst cells from apoptosis without impacting their proliferation. Tilting the balance from low to high apoptosis levels (via inactivation of XBP1 on a Pkd1 KO background) given similar proliferation profiles may thus provide a viable therapeutic option in the context of cystic kidney disease. Given that the target pathway in this case is very well characterized and not needed for kidney development or homeostasis, our data offers a potentially exciting therapeutic option for slowing down ADPKD (and possibly ARPKD) by targeting Ire1alpha-XBP1. Furthermore, we have identified a potent agent that leads to a dramatic decrease in polycystic kidney disease progression in both early and adult mouse models. This agent represents a promising candidate for further pre-clinical/clinical development.

ProteoWise
