Isogenica
Isogenica are experts in VHHs - highly versatile small format antibodies which we use to construct next generation biotherapeutics for the treatment of cancer, inflammation and other serious diseases.
VHHs can be assembled to create bi- and multi-specific biotherapeutics, or used to achieve targeted drug delivery as components of ADCs and cell and gene therapies including CAR-Ts.
Isogenica’s bespoke partnerships with global biopharmaceutical companies have resulted in a deep pipeline including two Clinical Phase assets and partnered pre-clinical and discovery programs.We are also seeking to out-license in-vivo validated pre-clinical stage VHH assets, including half-life extension modules.

Medherant
Medherant uses its unique transdermal delivery technology, the TEPI Patch®, to deliver drugs more effectively.
TEPI Patch enables continuous drug delivery for 24hr and up to 7 days depending on drug and indication. The patches are very thin and comfortable to wear. They do not leave residues on the skin because there is no cold flow and no solvents are used in their manufacture.
The safety of TEPI Patch has been demonstrated in clinical trials. Medherant is developing its own TEPI Patch product and is also working with pharmaceutical company partners to develop transdermal delivery forms of their drugs.

MediSieve
MediSieve is actively seeking investment and partnerships to complete pre-clinical validation of its second product, which enables novel AAV therapies.

Mursla
Mursla (Cambridge, UK) is an emergent techbio startup, leveraging extracellular vesicle biology to deliver nextgen multi-omics liquid biopsy tests.
Its first product is a blood test to significantly improve the early detection of liver cancer among high risk populations so that more patients can benefit from curative treatments (surgery/transplant).
Its test is first-in-class and is differentiated from first generation liquid biopsy blood tests using circulating free DNA since it is tissue-specific, multi-omics and offers real time snapshot of disease biology.
Mursla is currently running a multi-centre pilot study with four world leading universities across Europe and the support of global diagnostic leader, Roche Diagnostics.
Mursla’s lead product is enabled by years of novel technology development to create breakthrough cancer diagnostic tests using extracellular vesicle (EV) biology, seven patents, several publications, its own R&D lab and one of the best EV know-hows globally.
Its first blood test for liver cancer surveillance will be ready for commercial launch in 2025.
Mursla was selected as UK Life Sciences Innovator 2023 in the Diagnostics and Precision Medicine category.
The company's vision is to transform chronic disease management with EV-based multi-omics liquid biopsies.
