Ion Torrent Systems (USA) Ion Torrent (Ion) has developed the world's first semiconductor-based DNA sequencing system. DNA is sequenced on a semiconductor chip, directly translating biochemical information (A, C, T, G) into digital information (1,0). While today's sequencing technologies require customized manufacturing plants, Ion chips are made in standard semiconductor facilities. Medicine In Need (South Africa/USA) A not-for-profit non-governmental organization devoted to the development and manufacture of affordable and effective vaccines and therapies for diseases of poverty with characteristics that allow their widespread use and sustainability. It does this by incubating, and subsequently applying, emerging and advanced delivery and manufacturing technologies to drug and vaccine candidates to make them well-suited for the economic and logistical constraints of the developing world. Molecular Partners (Switzerland) Molecular Partners is a privately owned biopharmaceutical company, located in Zurich, Switzerland, that is pioneering the development of a novel class of targeted protein therapeutics termed DARPins. DARPins are as target specific and potent as monoclonal antibodies. Yet, being small proteins, they overcome the known limitations of conventional protein-based therapeutic approaches. Neuronetics (USA) Neuronetics, Inc. is a privately-held medical device company focused on developing non-invasive therapies for psychiatric and neurological disorders using MRI-strength magnetic field pulses |
