Sangamo BioSciences is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company involved in gene therapy that is researching ways of commercializing Zinc finger nucleases which modify a cell's DNA at an exact location thereby correcting or disrupting a specific gene. Sangamo BioSciences' lead therapy, SB-728, is a potential functional cure for HIV/AIDS. SB-728 works by removing some of the immune cells from the patient's blood that HIV attacks. The blood is sent to a lab which applies the SB-728 treatment to the patient's immune cells. The treatment removes the protein gateway on the immune cells that HIV needs to infect. The treated cells are then infused back into the patient whereby they reproduce and take over as HIV attacks and kills the non-treated cells. The treated, resistant cells thereby control the HIV infection and thus cures the patient from opportunistic infections that result from HIV. Recent published data further support the company's ongoing progress which has been described as "a major step toward immunological functional control of HIV."

Masimo Corporation, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Irvine, California, is a medical technology company that develops, manufactures, and markets innovative non-invasive patient monitoring measurements, sensors and devices, hospital automation and connectivity solutions, telehealth solutions, and consumer health and wellness devices. Masimo is best known for its pulse oximetry technology, Masimo Signal Extraction Technology® (SET®) — which today is considered to be modern pulse oximetry. Masimo SET® addresses the limitations of conventional pulse oximetry, such as its poor performance during patient motion or low perfusion. Founder and CEO Joe Kiani was inspired to develop more reliable, accurate technology after observing ineffective pulse oximetry in the neonatal care unit (NICU). Masimo’s pulse oximetry is at the heart of many of its monitoring devices and products. In 2023, SET®’s origin — as a way to more reliably monitor NICU babies — came full circle with the introduction of Masimo Stork™, a baby monitor that uses SET® and other advanced technologies to help parents track their babies’ health indicators at home. In addition to Masimo SET®, the company has developed numerous noninvasive measurements (collectively known as the rainbow SET® family of measurements), a suite of advanced devices like the Root® patient monitoring and connectivity platform, many other innovative bedside, handheld, and tetherless devices, and remote patient monitoring and management solutions like Masimo Patient SafetyNet™ and Masimo SafetyNet These devices and solutions help caregivers monitor numerous physiological parameters including blood oxygen saturation (SET® SpO2), total hemoglobin (SpHb®) carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®), fluid responsiveness (PVi®), methemoglobin (SpMet), respiration rate from the pleth (RRp®), brain function while sedated (SedLine®), regional and cerebral oximetry (O3®), cardiac output (LiDCO™), end-tidal carbon dioxide and other capnography measurements (NomoLine®), acoustic respiratory rate (RRa®), and more. Masimo also develops therapeutic products like Masimo softFlow™ which delivers respiratory support to patients with spontaneous breathing. Additionally, Bridge™ by Masimo is a non-drug device that alleviates symptoms of opioid withdrawal through neuromodulation — making recovery safer and easier. Masimo also offers the first FDA-authorized device to alert users in the event of an opioid overdose, Opioid Halo™, and wearable devices like the Masimo W1™ advanced health tracking watch. The company sells its products to end-users through direct sales and distributors, as well as to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other partners to incorporate into their products.

Merck & Co., which operates as Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD) outside the U.S. and Canada, is now an independent company. Merck KGaA operates mainly in Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Latin America. Since Merck & Co. holds the rights to the Merck name in the U.S. and Canada, the company operated under the umbrella brand EMD Chemicals in North America, and since 2010 as EMD Millipore (after the acquisition of Millipore Corporation), formed from the initials of Emanuel Merck, Darmstadt. Founded in 1668 in Darmstadt, Merck KGaA of Darmstadt, Germany, is the world's oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company. The success of the export business to the United States led in 1887 to the establishment of an office in New York, which gave rise to their subsidiary [Merck & Co.](http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/merck-co-inc) four years later.
