The startup develops multispecific antibodies that enhance the functionality of innate and adaptive immune cells, providing targeted engagement for improved therapeutic outcomes. This approach addresses the limitations of existing therapies by offering a more effective means to direct immune responses against diseases.
GlycoEra develops biologic therapeutics that selectively degrade pathogenic circulating proteins, such as autoantibody IgG4, to treat autoimmune diseases. Its platform enables rapid, deep, and specific removal of disease‑driving extracellular targets while preserving overall immune function. This precision immunology approach aims to allow earlier intervention, improve patient outcomes, and reduce reliance on broad immunosuppression.

Hillstar Bio develops precision immunotherapies that selectively deplete pathogenic immune‑cell subsets to reset the immune system in autoimmune diseases. By engineering antibodies that target disease‑specific genetic markers, its candidates aim to spare healthy cells, reduce adverse effects, and enable less frequent dosing compared to broad immunosuppression. The lead program, HSB‑101, targets TRBV9+ T cells for axial spondyloarthritis and related HLA‑B27‑mediated conditions, with preclinical work advancing toward a Phase 1 trial.

RQ Bio discovers and develops long-acting monoclonal antibodies (LAAbs) targeting seasonal influenza. This approach aims to deliver immediate and sustained protection against severe viral disease, particularly for immunocompromised populations. The LAAbs provide protection independent of the patient's ability to mount a maximal response to seasonal vaccines.
T-Cypher Bio develops T-cell receptor-based therapeutics that utilize proprietary target screening libraries to identify functionally defined T-cell clones from disease tissues, specifically for solid tumors and other immune-mediated diseases. This approach enables healthcare providers to create tailored cell therapies that address the limitations of existing cancer treatments by targeting a broader range of tumor-specific antigens.

Tribune Therapeutics is developing novel medicines that target key CCN protein family members to inhibit the pro-fibrotic signaling pathways responsible for fibrosis across various tissues. Their lead candidate, TRX-44, effectively blocks fibrotic signaling in preclinical models of lung and kidney fibrosis, addressing the critical issue of organ scarring and dysfunction.
The startup develops small molecule therapeutics that promote remyelination to repair damaged myelin sheaths in patients with multiple sclerosis. Their therapies aim to reverse the debilitating effects of the disease, enhancing neurological function and quality of life for affected individuals.
