Volition
We are dedicated to revolutionizing the diagnosis and monitoring of life-altering diseases by advancing the science of epigenetics. Our mission is to save lives and improve outcomes for millions of people and animals worldwide. Imagine a world where diseases like cancer and sepsis can be diagnosed early and monitored easily using routine blood tests. That’s the world we’re trying to build by developing our innovative family of simple, easy to use, cost-effective tests. Our patented technologies use chromosomal structures such as nucleosomes and transcription factors as biomarkers in cancer and other diseases. All the tests in our portfolio detect various characteristic changes that occur from the earliest stages of disease, enabling early detection and potentially a better way to monitor disease progression and a patient’s response to treatment. Our ground breaking nucleosome quantification technology is currently being used for cancer applications in veterinary medicine and we are continuing to expand our technology in human medicine through early clinical trials in cancer, sepsis and beyond. Regarding our Nu.Q® technology, we have four pillars of focus: Nu.Q® Vet, Nu.Q® NETs, Nu.Q® Discover and Nu.Q® Cancer. We have also developed Capture-PCR™, a novel method for liquid biopsy enabling rapid, cost-effective cancer detection in a routine blood test.

Oxford Medical Products
Oxford Medical Products (OMP) is pioneering a novel gastro-retentive biomaterial platform designed to transform weight management and oral drug delivery. Our lead asset, Sirona, is in late-stage clinical development for weight loss and weight management in adults with a BMI of 25–40. With more than 2 billion people affected by excess weight worldwide—and an estimated $148 billion annual cost to the U.S. healthcare system alone—the need for scalable, patient-friendly solutions has never been greater. Beyond weight management, OMP’s technology is being developed as a next-generation oral drug delivery platform. By improving pharmacokinetics and bioavailability, our approach has the potential to enhance patient tolerability, improve compliance, and deliver more consistent dosing across individuals. Our proprietary technology is delivered as a simple oral pill, taken at home. Once ingested, it rapidly expands in the stomach, where it is designed to remain for several days before safely breaking down and passing naturally. By temporarily reducing available stomach volume, the technology helps decrease hunger and food intake—supporting meaningful, sustained weight loss. OMP is focused on redefining what’s possible in gastro-retentive therapies, with the ambition to make effective treatments simpler, safer, and more accessible.

Bioactive Pharma Limited
Bioactive Pharma Ltd is the UK holding company for a group of 4 companies involved in the research, development, manufacture and distribution of a range of premium natural medicines, whole-plant extract and bioactive ingredient dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and a medical device. Our products are sold in 9 international markets across North America, Europe and Australasia under the Dr Sosnowski’s® and Herstat® brands. Naturally occurring complex bioactive substances found across a variety of what we regard as ‘Hero’ ingredients are central to our work and can be found in the majority of our incredible portfolio of products. Bee propolis, a resinous material produced by bees, exemplifies the complexity of these bioactive substances and its value in natural medicines. Composed of flavonoids, phenolic acids, and aromatic compounds, propolis has demonstrated antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties in both traditional use and modern scientific studies. Rather than isolating a single molecule, the broad-spectrum activity of propolis arises from the interplay of its diverse chemical components, aligning more closely with the intricate systems of human biology. Similarly, certain mushroom varieties have long been revered for their adaptogenic properties, which help regulate the body's stress response and support immune function. Unlike single-molecule drugs, these natural compounds work through a network of bioactive constituents, including polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and ergosterols, which act in harmony to modulate various physiological processes and they usually achieve this with fewer side effects than conventional drugs. Our primary technology is the extraction of phenolic compounds from crude propolis. We take a waste by-product of the honey industry and transform it into powerful, standardised pharmaceutical grade ingredients. Our incredible and dedicated team performs this work in our facility in Winnipeg, Canada.
