The Salesforce training lab will be a dedicated boot camp for educating customers and employees new to the Salesforce ecosystem. "In the lab, we will train, teach and create new Salesforce talent," Westwood said.

Securing space in the historic Clift Building, located at 10 W. Broadway in Salt Lake City, the Simplus office will be conveniently located in the heart of Salt Lake City's metro area, which is filled with popular and trendy dining options, world-class shopping, theaters, museums and hotels. The office is also directly across from Utah's public transit light rail system that connects to Salt Lake International Airport.

"In addition to the prime city center location, we were drawn to the impressive architecture of this historic 99-year-old building," said Isaac Westwood, COO of Simplus. "Being raised by an interior designer mother and an historian father, Ryan (CEO) and I were taught to appreciate the beauty of historic settings, particularly Salt Lake City's 19th and early 20th century buildings. The design of the Clift Building is important to us, and we plan on stripping back some of the interior layers to expose the historic fabric. We're excited to be part of MRCE, Inc., as the Clift and other city center buildings come back to life in Utah's growing 21st-century high tech economy."

The Clift Building, built in 1919, is one of Salt Lake City's largest terra cotta-faced structures. The eclectic facade of the eight-story building is reminiscent of the Second Renaissance Revival Style, and the architectural integrity, with the exception of the modified first floor, remains intact today. Named after Francis Clift, an immigrant pioneer from England, the building was commissioned by his wife, Virtue Butcher Clift, after he passed away in 1913.

Upon completion, the address for Simplus will be 10 W. Broadway, Ste. 510, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101. For more information, please contact 1-833-SIMPLUS or email amyc@simplus.com.

VetStem Biopharma Begins Contract Human Stem Cell Manufacturing in San Diego

VetStem Biopharma has long been a leader in veterinary stem cell manufacturing with clinical, regulatory and manufacturing experience. In August 2018, VetStem signed its first contract manufacturing agreement to manufacture cells for human clinical trials. With one of the first GMP cell manufacturing facilities in California, VetStem is uniquely suited to assist biopharma companies with the regulatory and manufacturing of stem cells for use in preclinical studies and for Phase I and Phase II FDA human studies. In addition, VetStem is filing several human stem cell INDs using its veterinary data and experience to jumpstart its human stem cell development program.

VetStem has clinical data on over 17,000 veterinary stem cell treatments spanning 31 different species and has GCP, GTP, GMP, and GLP experience. As announced in 2017, VetStem completed the GMP cell therapy manufacturing facility at its headquarters laboratory in Poway, California. Based upon 12 years of GTP laboratory operations, VetStem constructed and validated a state-of-the-art GMP stem cell manufacturing plant. This clean room facility has already produced engineering and full product registration batches of stem cell product and those batches have been officially released for use in pivotal FDA studies of safety and efficacy.

Carolyn Wrightson, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer, stated "This facility is the culmination of six years of planning and research, supported by over 12 years of commercial stem cell laboratory operations by VetStem's experienced cell therapy team." According to Bob Harman, DVM, MPVM, CEO of VetStem, "Quality is the critical element necessary to bring stem cell therapy into mainstream medicine. VetStem has been committed to quality since its founding and has worked directly with the FDA, both veterinary and human divisions, to assure our facilities and products adhere to the strictest guidelines for safety and efficacy. We offer tours of the facility and are happy to provide proposals for contract manufacturing for stem cell products. VetStem has FDA master files that cover facilities and operations as well as key elements of IND submissions like stem cell vial validation and manufacturing methods for easy IND reference."

FDA cGMP regulations apply equally to veterinary and human products, so it was a natural progression to offer VetStem's facility and technical expertise to companies seeking to conduct their first human trials. VetStem's patient registry large animal data is also potentially available to license for assistance with the human FDA requirement for animal safety data before companies can enter human clinical trials. Dr. Harman stated, "We believe that we can really jumpstart cell manufacturing for new companies and potentially save years and millions of dollars of investment by utilizing our existing facilities and hundreds of standard operating procedures."

Prior to VetStem, Dr. Harman founded and operated the largest west coast contract preclinical animal laboratory conducting FDA submission safety and efficacy studies for veterinary and human biotech products. VetStem also has direct access to human clinical trial and IND consultants to assist companies in their regulatory filings and protocol designs.

Contact VetStem for more information or if you are interested in contract manufacturing for stem cell products.

Lycotec Turns “Bad” Fats to Good

Fats are an essential part of the human diet. However, excessive consumption leads to overweight, obesity, liver and cardiovascular health problems. The definition of "excess" is highly personalised and depends not only on the metabolism of an individual, the status of his/her digestive system and body parameters, but also on the composition and volume of the ingested fat and other nutrients co-ingested with the food. Therefore it is difficult for an individual to determine the sufficient and non- excessive level of fat ingestion at a particular time and for a particular food.

Lycotec Ltd, a company based in Cambridge UK, http://www.lycotec.com, has developed a technology which can help to solve this problem. Called "L-tug", this technology changes the physical folding of lipid molecules, which results in a reduction in the rate of digestion of edible fats and oils. This conversion serves as a "safety valve" when an individual consumes an excessive amount of fat. When this happens the digestive system does not have enough time to break down all the ingested fat, and the excess passes into the body. If the amount of fat is not excessive then the body has time to digest all of it.

The technology behind L-tug fat conversion is the use of some safe food molecules, which are present in nature as essential micro-constituents in all plant and animal fats. During industrial extraction and refining of plant oils, these molecules are typically removed, making fat much too easy to digest. When it comes to animals, they do not make such constituents but can only get them through eating plants. Contemporary agriculture is based on intensive feed, which typically lacks these ingredients or provides them at an insufficient level. This translates into low presence or complete absence of these essential molecules in the milk and fat of farming animals.

Lycotec technology reconstitutes the deficiency in industrially produced fats and oils by doping them in a ratio of 1 part of L-tug to 10,000, 100,000 or even more parts of lipids. As a result of this, the size of the lipid droplets or fat globules is dramatically enlarged, which leads to an increase in the time needed for their digestion. The changes in the fat digestibility are stable even when it is blended into another food matrix such as chocolate, ice cream, yogurt or milk. L-tug changes are resistant to pasteurisation, boiling or cooking.

In a number of clinical trials the company demonstrated that ingestion of L-tug dairy butter, vegetable oils and chocolate resulted in a significantly lower level of postprandial lipids in the blood of volunteers. Moreover, daily intake of L-tug chocolate or replacement in the diet of conventional butter with its L-tug version resulted in a reduction of triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol in the fasting blood of volunteers. Control of the former lipid is essential for weight management and of the latter to support cardiovascular health.

The lipid-lowering effect of edible fats combined with the L-tug ingredients has been patented for some years and the patent already granted in a number of territories. However, based on this unorthodox and unexplained phenomenon of the creation of lipid-lowering fats, it proved difficult to bring associated products to the market, since health claims would have to have been based on the effect of these fats on the body, and therefore would have required EFSA and FDA approval. https://www.cambridgenetwork.co.uk/news/lycotec-readies-eu-health-claim-for-cholesterol-lowering-cho4072/

After 4 years of additional research and development, scientists in Lycotec have not only gained more insight into the mechanism of the changes in L-tug lipids, but also further developed, adapted for different fats, clinically validated, refined and standardised the technology behind this conversion. The change in fat digestibility is the result of an engineering process, therefore L-tug food health claims do not need EFSA or FDA approval, but can have the claims under the category of Food for Special Medical purposes. This would require only national authority notification and a scientific dossier to substantiate the claims, which Lycotec now has. Moreover, since L-tug technology does not create any new chemical entities, there is no need for Novel Food status approval.

All this work has resulted in a new patent application, filed in February this year. A combination of two patents, the "composition of matter" and the "proprietary process", provide one of the strongest of IP protections for the technology and L-tug products.

According to Dr Ivan Petyaev, the founder and CEO of Lycotec, L-tug technology is set to be able to personalise, optimise and overall revolutionise the food fats we eat. The technology and clinically validated food prototypes will be introduced to the industry and investment leaders next month in London at the Future Food-Tech.
