QUATRx Pharmaceuticals hopes to capitalize on the bright ideas of others. The biopharmaceutical company acquires compounds in the pre-clinical stage from other companies and academic institutions and takes them through clinical studies then licensing them to pharma giants. The company focuses on developing new therapies for cardiovascular, endocrine, and metabolic conditions. Products in clinical trials include treatments for age-related hormone deficiencies in women and men as well as drugs for high cholesterol and the treatment of psoriasis. Hormos Medical, QUATRx's Finnish subsidiary, conducts most of its preclinical and discovery programs.

Quest PharmaTech aims to shed some light on dermatology and cancer treatments. Working with Hypocrellin, a photosensitive compound isolated from pigments found in fungi on bamboo, the company has developed its SonoLight Technology.

The company's pipeline of drug candidates include treatments to facilitate laser hair removal, address acne, and improve prostate cancer therapies. The company has sold off several earlier products to focus on its current pipeline and continues to consider strategic alternatives to facilitate its growth.
