"For the first time, we are able to imagine and generate chemically synthesized biologics at scale and with increasing programmability, offering a new class of medicines with transformative potential," said Avak Kahvejian, Ph.D., Co-Founder and CEO of Abiologics and General Partner at Flagship Pioneering. "Creating protein biologics with artificial building blocks rather than naturally occurring amino acids allows Synteins to go unrecognized by the immune system, offering significant advantages compared to today's biologics such as less frequent dosing, oral delivery and the ability to reach parts of the body that were previously impossible to access and treat. With Synteins, Abiologics is poised to bring boundary-breaking medicines to patients across a range of diseases."

The new name, ‘Biolyst,’ reflects the essential part the company plays in the Life Sciences discoveries that make life better for all. ‘Bio’ signals where impact is felt – in enhancing and extending life – and ‘lyst’ signifies its role as catalyst in helping clinical and research labs pursue breakthroughs with accuracy and efficiency. The EMS and Azer brand names will continue to exist as ‘power brands’ within the product portfolio.

IXCHIQ ® is the world’s only licensed chikungunya vaccine available to address this unmet medical need. In accordance with the International Recognition Procedure (IRP)3, Valneva has also submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). An additional marketing authorization application is under review by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) to make the vaccine available in certain Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), with potential approval in 2024.

“CTCs are rare — as low as only 1–10 can be found per milliliter of blood — however, CTC enumeration and analysis offers valuable insight into tumor heterogeneity and disease progression,” said Stephen Kulisch, Vice President of Marketing for Bio-Rad’s Digital Biology Group. “Building on the capabilities of Celselect Slides 1.0, we’re continuing to improve the efficiency of rare CTC enrichment, enumeration, and recovery to accelerate cancer research workflows. This launch reflects the expansion of our technological capabilities and our commitment to bringing novel solutions to researchers to improve our understanding of cancer and inform research programs.”

"Myeloproliferative neoplasms, including ET and PV, are chronic blood diseases that can impact patients' quality of life and lead to life-threatening complications, including the development of specific types of blood cancers, and PharmaEssentia is committed to developing new therapeutic solutions for these patients,” said Robert B. Geller, M.D., Head of Medical at PharmaEssentia USA. “We are thrilled with the pace at which we have enrolled patients, which we believe reflects a high level of interest in both the EXCEED-ET and ECLIPSE-PV trials. Our goal with each of these programs is to redefine the early treatment paradigm of myeloproliferative neoplasms.”
