More than 20,000 genes make us human. Genes control critical aspects of health and disease — but what controls our genes? Foghorn® Therapeutics ($FHTX) is developing therapies based on a system that directs which genes our cells express, and when, where, and in what order. By manipulating this system with our unique Gene Traffic Control™ platform, Foghorn will change how genes turn “on” and “off.” Unlike approaches that edit genes, this novel way of thinking will alter what our DNA has in store for us—and rewrite destiny for millions of people living with disease. With Gene Traffic Control™ Foghorn is pioneering a new, major class of drug targets to develop unprecedented therapies for cancer and other serious diseases. We have already validated multiple targets, are in the process of developing drug candidates in multiple types of cancer and are beginning to explore other diseases.
Forus Health is a medical technology start up founded in 2010 by a group of engineers with the goal to eradicate avoidable blindness. Over the years Forus Health has designed and developed affordable technology solutions to increase access and affordability of eye care. Our first product 3nethra classic is a compact and portable non-mydriatic fundus camera used for capturing digital images of the posterior (retina) and anterior (cornea) segments of the eye. The device is used for identifying common eye problems such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, ARMD, cataract etc. The device is also integrated to a cloud based telemedicine platform which enables remote diagnosis. There are 40 million people who are blind globally, and 15 million live in India. The high incidence of blindness in India is due to a combination of several issues, but mostly due to limited access to eye care facilities, high cost of treatment/surgery and lack of awareness. The objective of Forus Health is to use technology to increase access, bring down the cost of diagnosis(affordability) and raise awareness (the three As). The key to our solution is not just the technology, but the way in which we have designed the deployment of the product.
