| Semma Therapeutics was founded to develop transformative therapies for Type 1 diabetes patients. Recent work in the laboratory of Professor Douglas Melton led to the discovery of a method to generate billions of functional, insulin-producing beta cells in the laboratory. This breakthrough technology has been exclusively licensed to SemmaTherapeutics for the development of a cell-based therapy for diabetes. Ongoing research at Semma Therapeutics is focused on combining these proprietary cells with a state-of-the-art device to provide a true replacement for the missing beta cells in a diabetic patient without immunosuppression. Semma Therapeutics is working to bring this new therapeutic option to the clinic and improve the lives of patients with diabetes. | $44M / Series A / Mar 24, 2015 | ||
| PowerVision is a private company focused on developing a novel accommodating intraocular lens, which is designed to restore True AccommodationTM. Their innovative FluidVisionTM accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) is poised to help individuals affected by presbyopia and/or cataracts regain the ability to dynamically adjust focus for clearvision at all distances.Fifty years ago, vision correction surgery was changed forever by the invention of the intraocular lens, which is used to treat a cataract – a clouding and hardening of the dime-sized, normally clear, crystalline lens inside your eye which can rob you of your vision in your 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.PowerVision set out to dramatically improve vision correction surgery again. They began the development of their FluidVision IOL, which mimics the way a healthy eye works and can restore clear vision at all distances, near, far, and everywhere in between. It uses a tiny amount of fluid inside the lens and natural eye muscles to change shape and adjust focus just the way your healthy eye does.For the more than 20 million people with cataracts in the U.S. and, ultimately, the more than 90 million with Presbyopia – the loss of ability to focus up close that affects people in their 40’s and 50’s – the FluidVision lens can potentially give them freedom from ever needing glasses, contacts or any vision correction procedure again. | $20M / Series D / Jan 29, 2014 | ||
