Welcome to the new era of skin cancer detection. At DermTech we bring precision to the practice of dermatology through non-invasive genomic testing. And we developed the Smart Sticker that`s making it possible. The DermTech Smart Sticker collects an RNA sample by painlessly lifting skin cells off the entire surface of a mole. This gives doctors the power to diagnose skin cancer in its earliest stages—without a scalpel, without cutting, without scarring. After collection, stickers are sent to our team of scientists in the Gene Lab, the only commercial lab to extract nucleic acids and other proteins from non-invasive skin samples. We amplify RNA molecules to detect two specific genes that are highly predictive of melanoma—PRAME and LINC00518. This process provides 10,000x greater precision in the ability to detect melanoma. We have created the step before the scalpel—a tool doctors have never had before. Now the doctor has the choice of using a non-invasive, highly accurate test to check for melanoma without cutting. And this is just the beginning. We are developing other tests using the Smart Sticker that will further advance early disease detection.
Advanced Biotech is a Cobourg, ON-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
SeLux Diagnostics is developing a Next Generation Phenotyping (NGP) platform that promises to transform infectious disease patient treatment by dramatically increasing the speed and accuracy with which targeted, personalized antibiotic therapies can be prescribed. Earlier, better-informed treatment decisions will save lives, improve patient outcomes, decrease hospital lengths of stay and hospital acquired infections, and help combat the global antibiotic resistance epidemic.
TissueVision Inc. (TVI) is a multi-disciplinary life sciences company offering 3D tissue imaging and analysis solutions for the research market. Our powerful Serial Two-Photon Plus (STP²) platform features stunning high-resolution multispectral datasets and analysis pipelines that create reliable 3D tissue models. The indexed histological sections produced during the STP² process can be further investigated with secondary analyses that run the gamut from standard histological stains to advanced spatial genomics. The final result is rich, multiplexed 3D models that deliver actionable and quantitative results. TVI provides project design, GLP-like documentation, including full protocol and report generation, and quality control review measures of all study-related materials. TVI is a solution provider to help answer research questions in a variety of therapeutic areas, including neuroscience, cancer, neurodegeneration, ophthalmology, and dermatology.
