Children’s Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado School of Medicine

Ventria Bioscience has been engaged in a multi-year collaboration with the research group of Edwin de Zoeten, MD, PhD (Children’s Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado School of Medicine) to investigate the mechanisms by which Ventria’s lead candidate, VEN120—the principal component of which is lactoferrin—reduces inflammation in preclinical models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

In collaboration with Dr. Bo Lonnerdal at University of California, Davis and Dr. Nelly Zavaleta at Children’s Hospital in Lima, Peru, Ventria Bioscience sponsored a double-blind, randomized controlled clinical study to investigate the ability of ExpressTec-made breastmilk proteins to reduce symptoms in 140 children with acute diarrhea.

University of Minnesota

Ventria Bioscience has previously collaborated with Jason Baker, MD, MS at the University of Minnesota/Hennepin County Medical Center on a pilot clinical trial, Recombinant Human Lactoferrin to Reduce Immune Activation and Coagulation Among HIV Positive Patients: A pilot study.
