Epigenomics is a molecular diagnostics company focusing on the development and commercialization of in vitro diagnostic tests for cancer. Its cancer diagnostic tests aim at finding cancer at early stages before symptoms occur and are carried out conveniently on body fluids such as blood plasma. These tests potentially address millions of individuals in each of the major markets such as the United States, Europe, and Japan and provide product opportunities each with peak sales potentials of several hundred millions of euros for diagnostics companies worldwide. Its lead test development program is in colorectal cancer. Further test are in development for lung and prostate cancer. Each of its products in development addresses either mass markets or high-value niches. While some of them lend themselves to partnering with established diagnostics industry players, others can be commercialized effectively by Epigenomics itself. The concept of its diagnostic tests in development relies on detecting differences in DNA methylation patterns between healthy and sick individuals or between subgroups of patients for disease classification.

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."
