Parallel Solutions, Inc. (PSI) is a Research and Development
company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. PSI specializes
in the development of novel polyphosphazene polymers and
the application and commercialization of these polymers in the
field of life sciences.
Polyphosphazenes are a unique class of
polymers consisting of an inorganic phosphorous-nitrogen backbone and reactive pendant side groups.
Polyphosphazenes are constructed by initially creating a
polymer backbone and then substitutiting reactive side groups
with chosen building blocks through methods
of organic chemistry.Polyphosphazenes are differentiated by their:
- Tremendous synthetic versatility
- Tunable hydrolytic degradability
- High thermal and oxidative stability
- Broad range of mechanical characteristics
PSI is developing a number of unique
compounds suited to high value applications in the life science.PSI's first applications are a suite
of immunomodulators for use in vaccines and immunotherapeutics, and non-convalent
polyphosphazene based approaches to the delivery of therapeutic
protiens.
