About
FogPharma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company founded in 2015 by Gregory Verdine and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, developing a novel class of cancer therapeutics based on cell-penetrating mini-proteins (CPMPs). Traditional cancer drugs fall into two broad categories: small molecules that can penetrate cells but struggle to bind complex protein surfaces, and antibodies that bind complex surfaces with high specificity but cannot enter cells. FogPharma's CPMPs are designed to do both — penetrate cell membranes and engage large, complex intracellular protein targets that cause cancer but have historically been considered undruggable.
Karius raised $409M total including a $100M Series C in May 2024; its genomic blood test detects 1,000+ pathogens at 400+ U.S. hospitals; launched Karius Focus BAL for pneumonia in April 2025.
About
Karius is a Redwood City, CA-based life sciences company founded in 2014 that developed the Karius Test — a single blood draw that uses next-generation sequencing and AI to detect over 1,000 pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites) in seriously ill patients. The test is used when conventional cultures and targeted diagnostics fail, providing clinicians at transplant centers, children''s hospitals, and ICUs with a comprehensive pathogen report within 24 hours.
