PFASense: Fast, In-Field Testing for Forever Chemicals
PFASense is a next-generation diagnostic tool designed to detect toxic ‘forever chemicals’ directly at the source. By combining engineered protein sensors with a portable electrochemical device, it enables real-time, low-cost monitoring of water supplies—providing actionable insights to protect health and guide remediation. -
GeneSkin: A Novel mRNA Therapy for Skin and Hair Rejuvenation
GeneSkin is developing novel mRNA therapies to rejuvenate skin and hair by targeting basal stem cells. Using advanced microneedle delivery, our non-invasive treatments aim to reduce scarring, reverse aging, and promote hair growth, offering transformative solutions for millions worldwide. -
GC Therapeutics: Changing the Future of Cell Therapies
GC Therapeutics (GCTx) is applying their stem cell-engineering TFome platform to overcome barriers in the development and manufacturing of cell therapies to improve patient access across a broad range of disease areas. -
Instrument-Free Molecular Diagnostics
A synthetic biology-based molecular diagnostics platform that enables the creation of low-cost, highly accurate tests for non-clinical settings. -
AminoX: Making Better Protein Drugs, Quicker and Cheaper
AminoX enables protein drugs to only become active in the tumor microenvironment and not elsewhere in the body to avoid immune-related adverse effects in the body. By designing and building non-standard amino acids into strategic positions of protein drugs, AminoX provides tumor-specific, and longer-lasting target inhibition. -
Ichor: Reversing Aging
Ichor is addressing multiple age-related diseases by identifying genetic interventions that reprogram old cells to a younger state. Therapies based on these interventions could improve survival for cancer patients and long-term cardiovascular and neurological health.
