Probiotic-based prevention of respiratory infections
Unmet Need Pneumonia is the leading infectious killer of children, causing over 800,000 deaths annually. Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a major driver of these fatalities, even with widespread vaccination. Current vaccines are insufficient to address all…
Small molecules that can safely exploit copper as an antimicrobial
Value Proposition The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans can live in both plants and animals, but when inhaled by humans can disseminate from the lungs to the bloodstream and cause life-threatening systemic disease. The brain is…
SUMOylation as a therapeutic target in inflammatory bowel diseases and sepsis
Unmet Need Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) affects between 2.4 – 3.1 million people in the USA alone, with significant risks of complications such as sepsis. Chronic inflammation from IBD results in severe intestinal tissue damage,…
FK506/FK520 analogs modified to increase fungal specificity and reduce immunosuppression
Unmet Need Fungal infections are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide, with 150 million cases and 1.7 million fatalities reported in the last year alone. The challenge in treating these infections stems from the rise of multi-drug-resistant…
HIV treatment and prevention using broadly neutralizing antibodies
Unmet Need For over 40 years, the HIV pandemic has affected millions, reducing life expectancy and quality of life. As of 2021, 38.4 million people globally are living with HIV, with about 1.5 million new…
Gene expression signature to predict sepsis mortality
Unmet Need Sepsis is responsible for half of the in-hospital deaths in the US. It is characterized by organ dysfunction resulting from an uncontrolled response to an infection. The standard treatment for sepsis includes source…
Molecular Classifiers of Bacterial Infection
Unmet Need Bacterial infections can lead to various outcomes, with septicemia posing significant morbidity and mortality risks for patients. Septicemia occurs when bacteria enter and spread through the bloodstream, triggering an extreme immune response in…
Identification and application of novel lipoglycodepsipeptide antibiotics
Unmet Need Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a global public health concern. In 2019, an estimated five million deaths were attributed to antibiotic resistant pathogens. A recent study estimates that ABR could cause nearly ten million…
Novel necroptosis inhibitor for treating inflammatory diseases
Unmet Need Necroptosis is a form of cell death characterized by the rapid loss of plasma membrane integrity, leading to the activation of the immune system and subsequent inflammation. This process has been implicated in…
Universal Antibodies Effective Against Both Influenza A and B
Unmet Need Distinct influenza A and B viruses (IAV and IBV) circulate in human populations, causing significant widespread morbidity. Antibodies (Abs) that bind epitopes conserved in both IAV and IBV hemagglutinins (HAs) could protect against…
MEWS: a clinical model to predict probability of maternal sepsis trigger in obstetrics patients
Unmet Need Sepsis is a life-threatening emergency characterized by an overactive and improper inflammatory response by the body to an infection or injury leading to tissue damage, organ failure and death if not treated promptly.…
LpxH targeting antibiotics for Gram-negative bacteria
Unmet Need Antimicrobial resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is a major threat to public health. In 2019, 4.95 million deaths, 64% of all bacterial infection related deaths globally, were attributed to antimicrobial resistance to antibiotics.…
