LIfT Biosciences is a biotech bringing to market a first-in-class alpha neutrophil cell therapy that overcomes the limitations of current therapies in solid tumours by destroying tumours both directly and indirectly. LIfT’s Immunomodulatory Alpha Neutrophils (IMANs) turn the tumour microenvironment against the tumour as they recruit the rest of the immune system to destroy the tumour to give a durable response and lasting immunity. The patented breakthrough N-LIfT platform is produced from a patented process using exceptional stem cells (iPSC or HSC), a proprietary enhancement media and genetic engineering (e.g. CARs). The resulting CAR-IMAN cells give cancer patients potentially hundreds of times the cancer killing ability they naturally possess. The company is working with a range of pharmaceutical license partners to develop a portfolio of CAR-IMAN cell therapies to deliver complete remission across all solid tumours before the decade is out. LIfT BioSciences was founded by Alex Blyth following the death of his mother to pancreatic cancer. LIfT IMANs have preclinical validation of all of the characteristics required to overcome the challenges to achieving sustained remission in solid tumours.

Akribion Genomics develops a revolutionary, genetically-programmable and new therapy class for oncology, using novel nucleases, causing programmable cell depletion via RNA biomarker recognition. The nuclease can target a wide variety of cancer indications defined by genetic make up of patients and can also be applied beyond oncology. The nucleases are protected by a s trong IP position with FTO and the key patent granted in September 2023. The technology had initially been developed within and the company is a spin out of BRAIN Biotech, a stock listed industrial Biotech player that focuses on industrial applications.

Fusix Biotech is an early-stage university spinout based in Munich, Germany. They are developing a completely novel, synthetic oncolytic virus platform that offers potent tumor cell killing via a unique mechanism of action, modulatory activity in the tumor microenvironment and induction of systemic anti-tumor immunity, and optimal gene delivery in an all-in-one therapeutic approach that is delivered intravenously for solid tumors. Their pipeline of """"armed"""" vectors are effective as standalone therapies or as components in combinatorial immunotherapy approaches. Fusix is currently raising a Seed financing round in order to bring its lead development candidate to IND-readiness. They are interested in meeting relevant potential investors and strategic partners.

Alder Therapeutics is a Swedish private preclinical stage stem cell therapy development company with two promising allogeneic programs in the pipeline. Our most advanced program ALD01 is a retinal cell therapy to treat Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), an inherited blindness disease affecting 1 in 4,000 people worldwide. Current treatments for RP are limited to one single-mutation gene therapy with few eligible patients. We have established a safe and efficacious subretinal delivery method of ALD01 cells in mice, rabbits and non-human-primate models. Following injection, ALD01 cells safely engraft and over time connect with the host retina. In a mouse retinitis pigmentosa model, we observed improved vision already 4 weeks after injection. ALD01 offers a mutation agnostic, one-time treatment option for almost all patients, thereby revolutionizing RP treatment. The estimated market opportunity is > 2,6 BUSD with peak sales 412 MUSD in 2037.

Certified WOS Reviewer & Researcher in Cancer & CRISPR & bioinformatics | looking for collaborations & PhD. Positions Bioinformatics & Cancer
Single-Stranded Circular DNA (circDNA) in Theranostics: A Comprehensive Review A new review in Theranostics explores the exciting potential of circDNA, a type of DNA with a closed-loop structure, in the field of theranostics (therapeutics and diagnostics). With its unique properties like enhanced stability and resistance to degradation, circDNA is emerging as a valuable tool for various biomedical applications. Key Applications: Targeted Drug Delivery: circDNA aptamers, which can bind to specific targets, are being used to deliver drugs directly to cancer cells, improving their effectiveness and reducing side effects. Sensitive Bioanalysis: circDNA can be amplified using rolling circle amplification (RCA), enabling the development of highly sensitive diagnostic tests for various diseases. CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing: circDNA can serve as a donor template for precise gene editing using the CRISPR-Cas9 system, offering potential for treating genetic disorders. Multiscale Biomaterials: circDNA can be used to create diverse biomaterials, such as DNA origami, nanoflowers, and hydrogels, with applications in drug delivery, imaging, and tissue engineering. miRNA Inhibitors: circDNA can act as miRNA sponges, regulating gene expression and potentially suppressing tumor growth. Challenges and Future Directions: While circDNA shows great promise, challenges remain in terms of large-scale production and efficient delivery to specific tissues. However, with continued research and development, circDNA-based theranostics have the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.

Exosome therapies are a new modality of ATMPs, for which no therapy has yet been commercially approved, despite several ongoing clinical trials. Exosome therapy has diverse applications: 1. In regenerative medicine, exosomes support tissue repair in conditions like liver fibrosis and spinal cord injury. 2. They enable targeted drug delivery by transporting therapeutic agents, such as siRNA, across the blood-brain barrier. 3. Exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells offer immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, making them promising for cancer and gene therapy. 4. Diagnostic use includes evaluating exosome contents in biological samples for cancer diagnosis through liquid biopsy. At ENABLE Biotech, we have expertise and available capacity to manufacture exosome therapies as well as other advanced therapies, and our network of experts understands the unique CMC considerations for this new technology. #exosometherapies #advancedtherapies #CMC #CDMO #biomanufacturing #biotechinnovation #ATMPs
