Skye Bioscience, Inc. | October 13, 2021
Skye Bioscience, Inc. (“Skye” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company developing proprietary, synthetic cannabinoid-derived molecules to treat glaucoma and other diseases with significant unmet need, has formed a new exclusive sponsored research agreement with Emerald Health Biotechnology Espana SLU (“EHBE”), focused on developing and characterizing novel molecules that can affect the endocannabinoid system (ECS) for therapeutic benefit. The research initiative, referred to as the Cannabinoid Pharmaceutical Innovation Program (CPIP), will focus on targeting important signaling pathways in the endocannabinoid system to realize therapeutically beneficial effects.
The CPIP reflects the company’s continued commitment to expand its leadership in cannabinoid-based science and cutting-edge research that can be commercialized through new and existing technologies. It leverages R&D initiatives with key opinion leaders with specialized research centers in the US and internationally, such as the University of Mississippi, University of Cordoba, and University of Eastern Piedmont. This agreement deepens the commitment of Drs. Munoz and Appendino, who will be the principal investigators and continue to lead Skye’s scientific advisory board. The CPIP is driven by the focus on investing in key value-creating pillars for the Company - ophthalmology applications, clinical development, pipeline expansion and people - to achieve the vision of creating a world-class cannabinoid pharmaceutical company.
"As the world comes to appreciate the broad and dynamic role of the endocannabinoid system in humans and animal health, the pharmaceutical potential of cannabinoids to modulate this system is just starting to be understood. While the anecdotal evidence of the health benefits of cannabinoids dates back millenia, modern science has barely scratched the surface to validate the benefits of the ECS in preventing and treating diseases. Skye’s ambition is to play a leading role in effecting important therapeutic outcomes by influencing the endocannabinoid system. We want to continue to make strategic investments that can further bring value to all stakeholders, and our clear focus in this initiative is to achieve novel discoveries that achieve important clinical utility with commercial value. These overarching priorities will guide our strategy, project initiatives, and investments."
Punit Dhillon, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of Skye Bioscience
Under the terms of the agreement:
Skye will approve and fund designated projects and have exclusive rights to all data and products, and any intellectual property resulting from this research collaboration will be owned by Skye
Research will be broad and encompass novel molecules that modulate the ECS to treat or prevent human or animal diseases
EHBE will receive a single digit royalty on all licensing revenue or other consideration paid to Skye by a third-party licensee, assignee or purchaser related to any product commercialized as part of a Skye Project
Skye will pay EHBE a retainer of $200,000 per year.
“Having worked with cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system for over 25 years, it is clear that there are tremendous opportunities to discover and create cannabinoid-derived molecules with potential to beneficially interact with the ECS for positive medical outcomes. With the launch of Skye’s new Cannabinoid Pharmaceutical Innovation Program with our research team in Cordoba, Spain, our efforts will focus on preclinical development of CBDVHS, R&D of CB1 modulators involved in pain, inflammatory diseases, neurological diseases, fibrotic diseases and metabolic diseases, and drug discovery relating to modulators of the cannabinoid receptors CB2 and GPR55. We aim to generate a wide portfolio of proprietary products and IP around molecules with commercial potential.”
Eduardo Munoz, Managing Director of Emerald Health Biotechnology Espana

MacroGenics, Genedata | April 20, 2021
Genedata, the leading supplier of enterprise software solutions for biopharmaceutical R&D, revealed today a long-term collaboration agreement with MacroGenics, a biopharmaceutical firm and emerging pioneer in discovering and commercializing innovative immune-oncology therapeutics. The agreement provides MacroGenics access to Genedata Profiler® as well as consulting services to aid in the platform's accelerated adoption and integration into MacroGenics' R&D infrastructure.
The use of Genedata Profiler improves MacroGenics' ability to generate new hypotheses from combined databases from both proprietary and public sources, assisting in the interpretation of biomarker data and the design of clinical trials.
The Genedata Profiler software provides MacroGenics with a comprehensive solution that solves a variety of problems while also presenting new possibilities, such as:
• Aggregation and curation of dispersed clinical and non-clinical research data, in a central repository, to create an institutional memory;
• Self-service access to data and easy-to-use analytical tools empowers data scientists and clinicians to run complex analyses in a controlled and secure environment;
• Cross-study and cross-technology data integration and analysis unlock actionable insights and facilitate informed decision-making; and
• Automated workflows for data harmonization, integration, and analytics streamlines and standardizes analytical processes, while ensuring data reproducibility.
MacroGenics profits from Genedata's technical domain experience in data analytics and interpretation, IT support, and scientific consulting in addition to software while retaining sole ownership of its proprietary data. The MacroGenics science team is collaborating closely with Genedata experts to unlock the potential of their data and advance their translational and clinical research programs.
MacroGenics will be able to produce new scientific insights and hypotheses due to the streamlined, data-driven approach provided by Genedata Profiler.
• Accelerate the discovery and development of predictive biomarkers indicative of therapy response to define the best subpopulation of patients to benefit from their immunotherapies,
• Identify drugs’ specific indications to improve clinical trials inclusion criteria,
• Determine the therapeutic mechanism of action (pharmacodynamics) to strengthen the rationale of the treatment regimen.
Genedata Profiler, which is already in operation, has advanced MacroGenics' internal data organization and formatting.
