Triana Biomedicines
Funding: $280.8M
Triana Biomedicines is developing a platform to discover molecular "glues" for disease regulation. This technology identifies small molecules that facilitate interactions between two proteins (work like a glue). One such application aims to activate the innate protein degradation pathway to destroy disease-specific protein (for example in cancer cells). The company's lead candidate, TRI-611, a molecular degrader targeting ALK-positive anaplastic lymphoma kinase, is aimed at treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is capable of overcoming resistance observed with existing treatments. The company also has clinical trials in breast cancer in its pipeline. Pfizer is a major investor.

Lantern Pharma
Funding: $96M
Lantern Pharma is creating the AI ​​platform RADR for the development of oncology drugs. It's mainly used to predict the potential response of patients to drugs. RADR uses publicly available databases, commercial clinical research and trial data, proprietary company data derived from ex vivo 3D tumor transcriptome models, genomic data and drug sensitivity data from a wide range of carefully selected sources that are constantly analyzed, tracked and updated. Currently, the Lantern Pharma's portfolio includes three leading drug candidates and an ADC program for the treatment of 12 oncological diseases, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), TNBC, Bladder Cancer, Recurrent Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, select solid tumors

Treeline Biosciences
Funding: $1.1B
Treeline Biosciences is a biotech company building transformative precision medicines for patients with cancer and other serious conditions.
5
Allogene Therapeutics
Funding: $1B
Allogene Therapeutics is working to overcome the limitations of autologous CAR T therapy by creating allogeneic CAR T cell (AlloCAR T) products that utilize T cells from healthy donors. These cells are isolated in a manufacturing facility, engineered to express CAR T cells (that recognize and destroy disease) and genetically modified to limit the autoimmune response when administered to a patient. These cells are then stored for use as needed. The company estimates that a single production cycle is sufficient to treat over 100 patients, significantly reducing the cost of therapy. The company's pipeline includes candidates for large B-cell lymphoma and renal cell carcinoma (ALLO-316 is the first and only allogeneic CAR T cell therapy to show promising results in the treatment of solid tumors). The company operates its own manufacturing complex for clinical and commercial production, analytical testing and distribution of cell products.
