Achieving Success Together

We strive to be the partner of choice in the vibrant and growing animal health industry. We join forces with partners throughout the animal health, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agribusiness industries, and collaborate with current and emerging leaders in academia and at public and private institutions – all with a shared interest in developing innovative solutions to better predict, prevent, detect and treat disease, and help improve the health and wellbeing of animals and the people who care for them. We partner at all stages of the process, from early R&D to commercial products. Our singular focus on animal health allows partners to potentially leverage shared innovation across animal and human health.

  • Vectors for livestock and companion animal vaccines

Alternative potency assay technologies

We seek to advance the next generation of point of care analysis, at-home diagnostics, multiplexing and microfluidics, integration, and simultaneous multiple sample processing technologies. We are also interested in metagenomic identification or progression of clinically relevant diseases.

Diagnostics

  • Non-invasive or minimally invasive sampling methodologies
  • Simultaneous multiple sample processing
  • Multiplexing and microfluidics integration
  • Novel point-of-care systems
  • Novel biomarkers for diagnosing and monitoring progression of chronic diseases
  • Agnostic pathogen detection  

Metagenomic identification or progression of clinically relevant diseases

We are always interested in various technologies that can advance care for animals. We are specifically focused on commercializable expression systems, novel biomarkers and phenotypic screens relevant to therapeutic and vaccine areas.

Commercializable antibody, protein and peptide expression systems

Formulation Innovations:

  • Thermostable vaccine and antibody formulations
  • Taste masking and palatability innovations
  • Innovative long acting drug delivery systems for small & large molecules.
  • 3-12 month long acting injectables
