MISSION

Engineering platform collagen technology to diagnose fibrosis and advance tissue regeneration science.

ABOUT

3Helix is a platform collagen company developing diagnostics for fibrotic conditions and advancing tissue regeneration science. The company's proprietary technology, Collagen Hybridizing Peptides (CHPs), was developed by Michael Yu, a current faculty member at University of Utah. CHPs enable the targeting of remodeling/damaged collagen.

The team is currently focused on commercializing fibrotic diagnostics. CHPs allow clinicians to determine the progression of the fibrosis by monitoring the collagen turnover. One exciting use case Is a histopathology approach to stratify NASH patients to reduce unnecessary therapeutic intervention. Additional noninvasive approaches can be achieved using the CHP platform such as medical Imaging and serum testing. 

Notably, Mike Kirkness, CEO, has secured a material collaboration with Roche's ophthalmology division to develop a noninvasive diagnostic for subretinal fibrosisin nAMD.

The Resident Experience

Provided lab space for our employees as we progress and grow this start-up biotech company

Jim Levison

Altitude is an enriching environment that provides countless opportunities for our company to grow, network, fundraise, and further develop our products.

Robert Williams

Lauryn and Chandana have been excellent. They consistently go above and beyond their duties to help my company and me be successful. They have been instrumental in getting us connected with vendors, equipment set up, lab issues resolved, and so much more. They are always more than willing to help with whatever questions I may have. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them.

Liz Enrico

The lab space has been extremely helpful, having access to all the equipment has been crucial for company progression.

Luke Bennink

Residence allowed our company to begin running experiments and moving forward while we raised capital for our own equipment and space.

Andrea Mazzocchi

Being able to access the lab facilities has been amazing! As well as having access to a community of other scientists for help and to learn from.

Eva Serio

Altitude Lab has served us as a great launch pad. Before we started the company, we did not fully appreciate the logistical intensity of starting a biotech. Altitude lab has allowed us focus on our science while the rest of the lab needs and so much more were taken care of for us.

Trent Fowler

Lab space, and being able to move/work away from the university has been huge for us. From a technology standpoint as well as allowing us to work faster and more efficiently. Having a working environment (desks) where we can grow and collaborate has been useful too. The space allows us to be dynamic as we grow and our needs change

Susan Wojralewicz

The key thing is infrastructure for us. We've been able to navigate legal stuff and fundraising without a ton of outside help but having a physical space to receive shipments on our behalf and instrumentation for us to use has really helped. I expect that benefit to jump when we finally move our lab operations there!

Ian Quigley

Having an affordable place to set up our lab and do our initial work is beyond measurable value. Also, the ability to connect with others in the same space for advice and shared experience is also incredibly helpful.
