Genzyme and Medtronic are out to prove that it doesn't just take time to heal a broken heart. The two companies' joint venture, MG Biotherapeutics, was created in 2004 to develop new treatments for heart attacks and other cardiovascular conditions. The company in 2006 ceased enrollment of new patients in its Phase II clinical trial, which had been testing the use of cell therapy to repair damaged heart tissue following a heart attack, after evidence showed the trial would not be successful. MG Biotherapeutics is also engaged in long-term research into next-generation cell therapies and is developing a less-invasive, catheter-based delivery system for cell therapy using Medtronic's TransAccess technology.

GTC Biotherapeutics develops, produces, and commercializes therapeutic proteins through transgenic animal technology. ATryn®, our recombinant form of human antithrombin, is the first transgenically produced protein to be approved anywhere in the world, having recently been approved by the European Commission for the prophylactic treatment of deep vein thrombosis in patients with hereditary antithrombin deficiencies that are undergoing surgical procedures. ATryn® is produced in the milk of goats developed using micro-injection technology to incorporate a human antithrombin transgene. In addition to ATryn®, GTC is developing additional recombinant forms of therapeutic proteins normally found in human blood plasma as well as monoclonal antibodies. These products have potential applications in hematology, oncology, and autoimmune diseases.

The revolution in genomics and proteomics spawned by the human genome project is providing a steady stream of protein therapeutic candidates. Many of these proteins require enhancements in their pharmacokinetic properties in order to be clinically effective because of inherent limitations of proteins as drugs. Advanced Proteome Therapeutics has initiated a program that is broadly applicable to proteins. It builds on a technology platform developed over twenty years of targeting proteins for site-selective modification and addresses issues which limit therapeutic utilization of promising proteins.The Company’s laboratories are located at the BioSquare Innovation and Discovery Center on the campus of the Boston University School of Medicine. Its scientists are engaged in research and development applying leading edge chemical and biochemical methodologies to commercially viable proteins. The technology is applicable to the generation of a variety of protein products including protein therapeutics, protein diagnostics and high value reagents for research.
