Drive Therapeutics, LLC United States

Drive Therapeutics is developing a novel, long acting, bispecific nucleic acid therapeutic to block the angiogenesis, inflammation, and fibrosis underlying retinal disease. Drive’s lead program is a bispecific aptamer therapeutic made up of two well validated components: a pan-specific anti-VEGF-A aptamer and an anti-Interleukin-8 (IL8) aptamer. Drive’s lead program will mitigate poor patient response to existing anti-VEGF therapy, improve outcomes and reduce patient burden. By targeting both angiogenesis and a critical immune pathway that drives both inflammation and angiogenesis, Drive’s bispecific inhibitor is the key to overcoming the limitations of VEGF monotherapy. In addition to current candidates, Drive’s aptamer therapeutic discovery platform will allow for streamlined, efficient development of new therapies to pathologically relevant ophthalmologic targets.

Eyedetec Medical, Inc. United States

Dry Eye Disease (DED) significantly impacts quality of life and vision, and the incidence is growing 7% annually (30M in US, 350M worldwide). Time spent on digital screens is accelerating this increase. There is currently no cure, and available treatments often create fear, anxiety, and discomfort, and are costly. Eyedetec Medical is developing a novel, internet connected, non-invasive platform medical device for treating patients that is effective, soothing, and relaxing, and will be used by patients in office and at home. The scalability and flexibility of this approach enables doctors to meet growing patient demand while generating meaningful new revenue. Proof-of-concept clinical data is positive. This novel therapy is easier to use, much more comfortable for the patient, and significantly less expensive than alternatives.

GATTACO Inc. United States

GattaCo develops products that enable fast accurate evidence-based decision making to improve healthcare outcomes. We do this by solving the fundamental problems in sample purification, the most challenging component of the diagnostic testing workflow.

 Our new Plasm™ Module is a revolutionary, patented, automatic plasma separation and metering module or insert used to provide high-purity, metered plasma to a rapid diagnostic testing platform, such as lateral flow, biosensor, or other Point of Care (POC) device, from finger-stick capillary blood. The initial version of the Plasm Module is optimized for antibody testing and will revolutionize POC diagnostics by improving: 

  • Sensitivity: Increased number of antibodies compared to the same volume of whole blood.
  • Specificity Accuracy: High quality/purity sample with reduced background.
  • Repeatability: Plasma is metered to +/- 5%.
  • Quantitation: Precisely metered output, independent of hematocrit.
