'Moving our U.S. site to Lilly Gateway Labs marks an important step in the scale-up of our operations,' said Samir Ounzain, Ph.D., Co-founder and CEO of HAYA Therapeutics. 'The facility offers world-class infrastructure and access to a dynamic scientific environment, providing an ideal setting to continue to advance our RNA-guided therapeutics platform, which is designed to reprogram the root causes of disease with unmatched precision, speed and scalability.'
Lilly Gateway Labs, which is part of the Lilly Catalyze360™ model, is a best-in-class innovation hub that connects early-stage biotech companies to the power of Lilly's expertise. The site offers cutting-edge laboratory space, operational support and access to an evolving ecosystem of biotech innovators.
HAYA's San Diego office plays a central role in the company's laboratory operations, with a strong focus on advanced multi-modal functional genomics, one of the key components of HAYA's proprietary platform and its Regulatory Genome Atlas. The office will also support business and clinical development, including the advancement of HAYA's first-in-class long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-targeting therapy HTX-001 for heart failure into the clinic with an initial focus on non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
HAYA recently announced a $65 million Series A financing to accelerate the development of RNA-guided therapeutics that target the regulatory genome to treat chronic and age-related diseases. The round was co-led by Sofinnova Partners and Earlybird Venture Capital, with participation from Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) and Alexandria Venture Investments, the venture arm of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.
At the core of HAYA's platform is the ability to map and decode the regulatory genome. HAYA has built the most comprehensive atlas of the regulatory genome by combining multi-modal functional genomics with proprietary computational and machine learning tools. This allows for the precise identification and modulation of pathogenic cell states across a range of diseases. Last year, HAYA announced a collaboration with Lilly focused on RNA-based drug targets for obesity and related metabolic disorders, making it one of the largest collaborations to date in the regulatory genome field.
With its platform, HAYA is advancing a novel approach to develop next-generation precision medicines, and advance its mission of translating deep genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic insights into novel disease-modifying therapies with potential to improve patients' outcomes by directly reprogramming the cellular drivers of disease.
HAYA Therapeutics remains fully independent and retains all assets and intellectual property while at Lilly Gateway Labs.
About HAYA Therapeutics
HAYA Therapeutics is a precision medicines company developing programmable therapeutics targeting regulatory RNAs derived from the dark genome, a cell information processing unit, to reprogram pathological cell states for a broad range of diseases, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and cancer. The company is using its innovative platform to gain novel insights into the biology of disease cell states and the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that regulate them. HAYA's lead therapeutic candidate is HTX-001, in development for the treatment of heart failure. HAYA is also developing a pipeline of lncRNA-targeting precision therapies for the cell-specific treatment of diseases in other tissues.

Dozing Breaks Ground on North America's Largest Low-Carbon Cement Mill
CHICAGO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ozinga has officially broken ground on a cutting-edge low-carbon cement manufacturing facility in East Chicago, Indiana. Equipped with one of North America's largest vertical roller mills, the new plant will produce one million tons of low-carbon cementitious materials annually. Strategically located with direct access to rail, truck, and water (via the Great Lakes and the inland waterways of the U.S.), the facility will serve customers across the United States and Canada, reinforcing Ozinga's commitment to sustainable infrastructure, supply chain resilience, and American manufacturing. "Ozinga has always believed that true innovation isn't just about progress, it's about purpose," said Marty Ozinga, CEO of Ozinga. "This facility is more than a plant. It's a commitment to the future of American manufacturing, to sustainable building, and to strengthening American communities for generations to come." Investing in Communities and American Manufacturing The East Chicago facility and its related operations are projected to create approximately 150 construction and long-term full-time jobs, fueling regional economic growth. Operations are expected to begin in 2026. "This is the kind of investment that strengthens communities and provides real opportunity for local families," said Anthony Copeland, Mayor of East Chicago. With over 2,500 employees nationwide, Ozinga continues to prioritize sustainability, community development, and innovation. The East Chicago facility marks a major milestone in the company's mission to deliver net zero concrete by 2030. Reducing Emissions, Strengthening Supply Chains Concrete is the backbone of modern infrastructure essential to homes, schools, hospitals, roads, and bridges. Yet traditional Portland cement, its core ingredient, accounts for nearly 7% of global CO₂ emissions. In 2024, the United States imported nearly 30 million tons of cement, leaving infrastructure projects vulnerable to supply chain instability and trade volatility. Ozinga's East Chicago facility directly addresses this challenge. By producing domestic low-carbon cements, it will reduce dependence on imports and dramatically lower embodied carbon in construction materials, supporting both environmental goals and economic resilience. Powered by North America's Largest Low-Carbon Vertical Roller Mill At the heart of the facility is the MVR5300-C6 vertical roller mill from Gebr. Pfeiffer, the largest of its kind in North America. With six independent rollers and unmatched throughput capacity, the mill maximizes energy efficiency while minimizing carbon emissions. "This isn't just a plant—it's a technological milestone," said Timothy Burden, President of Gebr. Pfeiffer Americas. "The MVR5300-C6 sets a new benchmark for sustainable cement production." The facility will produce ASTM C989-compliant low-carbon slag cement, as well as proprietary blends under Ozinga's CarbonSense™ brand, meeting ASTM C1157 performance standards and delivering up to 80% reductions in embodied carbon. Once fully operational, the plant is projected to offset more than 700,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of U.S. construction. Driving Innovation Through Collaboration Ozinga's leadership in sustainable building materials has been strengthened by partnerships with Meta, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and other industry leaders. These collaborations have yielded AI-optimized low-carbon concrete, used in Meta's DeKalb, IL data center, and enabled a 64% reduction in embodied carbon at the award-winning Amazon Web Services New Carlisle, IN data center, setting a new industry benchmark. The new East Chicago facility is a timely response to the growing demand for low-carbon concrete in data center construction and other mission-critical infrastructure projects across North America. About OzingaOzinga is a fifth-generation, family-owned American company providing concrete, bulk materials, and construction solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential projects. Committed to service, learning, and entrepreneurship, Ozinga continues to develop environmentally responsible products and practices that make a positive impact and shape the future of the built environment.
