Personal Genome Diagnostics (PGDx) is empowering the fight against cancer by unlocking actionable information from the genome. We are committed to developing a portfolio of regulated tissue-based and liquid biopsy genomic products for laboratories worldwide. Our expertise in advanced cancer genome analysis ranges from sample preparation and sequencing to data interpretation and analysis. We specialize in high-throughput next-generation sequencing, proprietary algorithms to identify alterations in complex cancer genomes and have developed novel technologies for non-invasive approaches in cancer. PGDx was founded in 2010 by Luis Diaz and Victor Velculescu to help bring novel diagnostic approaches to patients with cancer. They are internationally recognized leaders in cancer genomics who have extensive experience in the application of innovative genomic technologies for drug development and clinical practice.
Health Insight is a Las Vegas, NV-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Allakos is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing antibodies that target immunomodulatory receptors present on immune effector cells involved in allergic, inflammatory, and proliferative diseases. The Company`s lead antibody, lirentelimab (AK002), is being evaluated in a Phase 3 study in eosinophilic gastritis (EG) and/or eosinophilic duodenitis (EoD) and a Phase 2/3 study in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Lirentelimab targets Siglec-8, an inhibitory receptor selectively expressed on human mast cells and eosinophils. Inappropriately activated eosinophils and mast cells have been identified as key drivers in a number of severe diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, eyes, skin, lungs and other organs. Lirentelimab has been tested in multiple clinical studies. In these studies, lirentelimab eliminated blood and tissue eosinophils, inhibited mast cells and improved disease symptoms in patients with EG and/or EoD, EoE, mast cell gastrointestinal disease, severe allergic conjunctivitis, chronic urticaria and indolent systemic mastocytosis.
Our vision is to transform drug discovery from a slow, sequential, and high-failure process into a rapid, integrated, and novel computational platform to accelerate drug discovery.
