Philogen is a Swiss-Italian integrated biotechnology company founded in 1996, with the mission to develop innovative biopharmaceuticals for the treatment of angiogenesis-related disorders. Angiogenesis, i.e. the formation of new blood vessels, is a characteristic feature of many severe pathologies such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and age-related macular degeneration. The company has been a pioneer in the isolation, engineering and clinical development of lead products capable of targeting angiogenesis in-vivo and has been the first in the world to demonstrate that human monoclonal antibodies, specific for a marker of angiogenesis, can efficiently and selectively target the tumor neo-vasculature both in animal models and in cancer patients. At present, Philogen has four promising anti-cancer antibody derivatives and an antibody derivative for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in clinical studies. Two registrational studies are in planning. Our Zurich-based daughter company Philochem serving as the R&D unit isolates the most promising candidate products, while in Siena (Italy) the pharmaceuticals are produced according to GMP standards and advanced to clinical trials. Philogen generates revenue from a diversified range of activities, has signed agreements with major pharmaceutical companies and owns a diversified portfolio of international patents.

Politecnico Milano is a scientific-technological university which trains engineers, architects and designers. The University has always focused on the quality and innovation of its teaching and research, developing a fruitful relationship with business and productive world by means of experimental research and technological transfer. Research has always been linked to didactics and is a priority commitment which has allowed Politecnico Milano to achieve high quality results at an international level as to join the university to the business world. Research constitutes a parallel path to that formed by cooperation and alliances with the industrial system. Knowing the world in which you are going to work is a vital requirement for training students. By referring back to the needs of the industrial world and public administration, research is facilitated in following new paths and dealing with the need for constant and rapid innovation. The alliance with the industrial world, also favored by Fondazione Politecnico and by consortiums to which Politecnico belongs, allows the university to follow the vocation of the territories in which it operates and to be a stimulus for their development. The challenge which is being met today projects this tradition which is strongly rooted in the territory beyond the borders of the country, in a relationship which is developing first of all at the European level with the objective of contributing to the creation of a single professional training market. Politecnico takes part in several research, sites and training projects collaborating with the most qualified European universities. Politecnico's contribution is increasingly being extended to other countries: from North America to Southeast Asia to Eastern Europe. Today the drive to internationalization sees Politecnico take part in the European and world network of leading technical universities and offers several beside many which are entirely taught in English.

Discovering and developing novel drugs has been our passion, work and mission for over 50 years. Rottapharm Biotech lives for innovation and innovation lives at Rottapharm Biotech. This is all we are and all we want to be.

Sibylla is an innovative start-up founded in 2017 as a spin-OFF of the INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics) and the Trento and Perugia Universities. Its multidisciplinary team of co-founders has developed a pioneering Early Drug Discovery method that applies to the research and design of new drugs, effective against diseases so far incurable. Drug discovery is an extremely complex problem, therefore requiring innovation. Sibylla is a beautiful example of how innovation can be pushed forward by a multidisciplinary and agile team. Sibylla's approach is based on the possibility of simulating the folding pathway from the amino acid sequence as produced by the cells' ribosomes to the native state. Traditional pharmacological methods investigate the target proteins' interaction sites in their native, biologically active state. Novel methods act at the DNA level. Sibylla follows an alternative approach. We identify small molecules that bind to pockets found in the intermediate folding state. These pockets disappear in the native state, and that is why we may try to drug proteins which have been so far considered undruggable. Sibylla technology is called PPI-FIT (Pharmacological Protein Inactivation by Folding Intermediate Targeting). A molecule found through PPI-FIT would impair the folding of the protein, leading it to degradation. The overall effect is a selective reduction of the expression level of the target protein. The medical areas focused on by Sibylla's research include oncology and antibiotic resistance, although the technology can be applied to any therapeutic area. The company is developing a proprietary pipeline of potential drugs. We can also provide co-development or identifying potential drugs for pharmaceutical companies' specific targets. We recently signed a collaboration agreement with an important Pharma company. Besides the promising results already achieved, Sibylla keeps being engaged in developing proprietary computing technology.

Takis is a biotech dedicated to cancer research. Our primary objective is the development of innovative therapies based on the principle that our immune system can be “instructed” to recognize the tumor and reject it as a foreign entity. For this purpose, Takis offers cutting-edge technologies and works with the idea that new cancer treatment must be based on in-depth knowledge of tumour biology and the concept of personalized cancer therapy. Together with some of its partners, Takis is involved in the identification of new biomarkers and in the development of molecular diagnostic tests. The main competence of Takis’ researchers is the delivery of genes in vivo through numerous technologies. The foremost one is the electric transfer of genes (gene-electro-transfer–EGT) on which we have more than ten years experience. This technology can significantly increase the tissue uptake of nucleic acids in vivo, such as skeletal muscle, or the tumor itself, with a functional enhancement that leads to relevant immunological and antitumoral effects. In this regard, In addition to its research pipeline, Takis is engaged with academic and industrial partners in research aimed at studying the effectiveness of innovative drugs in biological systems or develop diagnostic tests based on the detection of new biomarkers. Takis offers itself as partner of choice because of its efficiency, speed of execution and low operating costs.
