Almac Discovery

Almac Discovery is an innovative biotech company operating within and supported by the Almac Group of companies. It is led by an experienced team (ex Pharma and Biotech), with a track record in delivering successful clinical stage programmes. Almac Discovery utilises its capabilities and expertise to discover and develop novel first-in-class/best-in-class NCEs and Novel Protein Therapeutics through to IND-ready stage, after which it seeks to collaborate with partners to continue into clinical development.

Its core expertise and arising portfolio are focussed on two areas:
a) Targeting the Deubiquitinating enzyme class (DUBs) linked to protein homeostasis and degradation through the application of its proprietary Ubi-Plex technology platform, and,
b) Next Generation Protein:Drug Conjugate (PDC) technology platform utilising minimal antigen-binding domains combined with Almac's novel, proprietary linker and payload technology.   
Drug programmes derived from these platforms are currently being prosecuted both in house and with external collaborators.

bit.bio

bit.bio is an award-winning human synthetic biology enterprise based in Cambridge, UK. bit.bio's mission is to code cells for health. Our breakthrough opti-ox technology platform is capable of producing consistent batches of every human cell. The technology directly reprograms stem cells into other human cell types with consistency at scale.

Having access to human cells has the potential to unlock a new generation of medicine: it will enable research and drug discovery to move on from inappropriate models and work with the cells that actually are affected by human disease and form the basis for a new generation of cell and tissue therapies.

C4X Discovery

C4X Discovery aims to become the world's most productive drug discovery engine by exploiting cutting edge technologies to design and create best-in-class small-molecule candidates targeting a range of high value therapeutic areas. The company's goal is to drive returns through early-stage revenue-generating deals with the pharmaceutical industry.

C4X Discovery has a state-of-the-art suite of proprietary technologies across the drug discovery process. The company's innovative DNA-based target identification platform (Taxonomy3(R)) utilises human genetic datasets to identify novel patient-specific targets leading to greater discovery productivity and increased probability of clinical success. This is complemented by C4XD's novel drug design platform which comprises two innovative chemistry technologies, Conformetrix and Molplex, that combine 4D molecular shape analyses (based on experimental data) with best-in-class computational chemistry.

C4X Discovery is advancing its in-house pipeline that is primarily focused on the high value therapeutic areas of inflammation, neurodegeneration and cancer (including immuno-oncology) with a number of new drug candidates identified and further progress made towards the pre-clinical licensing discussions. In selecting new targets and executing new drug discovery programmes, C4X Discovery focuses on high-value disease areas that are the subject of significant licensing activity and will continue to also maximise value from opportunistic areas such as addiction and diabetes. The Company recently signed a licensing agreement with Indivior for a pre-clinical addiction programme worth up to $294m.

The Company was founded as a spin-out from the University of Manchester. t has a highly experienced management team and Board who have delivered significant value creation within the healthcare sector historically and have enabled C4XD to reach multiple value inflexion points since IPO.
