Ambagon’s approach selectively augments the endogenous tumor suppression activity of 14-3-3 proteins bound to transcription factors and oncoproteins that have proven challenging to modulate with conventional approaches. Ambagon’s platform approach will...
Sera Prognostics is a leading proteomic and bioinformatics company dedicated to improving the lives of women and babies through precision biomarker-based tests designed to enhance pregnancy care. Sera’s vision is to deliver pivotal information in early pregnancy to physicians, to help them to improve the health of their patients and reduce costs of healthcare delivery. Sera’s PreTRM® Test reports to a physician the individualized risk of a pregnant woman to deliver prematurely, enabling earlier proactive interventions in patients with higher risk. Rigorous clinical validation of PreTRM® Test performance (accuracy of predicting premature delivery) was reported in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2016 in a U.S. cohort of 5,501 patients across 11 centers. Preterm birth is defined as any birth before 37 weeks gestation and is a leading cause of illness and death in newborns. The 2020 March of Dimes Report Card shows that of nearly 4 million babies born annually in the U.S., more than one in ten is born prematurely. Prematurity is associated with a significantly increased risk of major long-term medical complications, including learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, chronic respiratory illness, intellectual disability, seizures, vision and hearing loss, and can generate significant cost throughout the lives of affected children. The annual U.S. health care costs to manage complications of prematurity were estimated at $31.5B for 2015. Sera is also developing a robust pipeline of innovative tests focused on other complications of pregnancy. Using its advanced proprietary mass spectrometry and bioinformatics platform technologies, Sera detects biologically important protein expression differences to build high performing predictions of risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes (including preterm birth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, growth restriction, and others).
Canary Medical was conceived and created by a team of surgeons, medical device developers, and IoT experts with the vision that (1) healthcare transformation requires better and cheaper healthcare data, (2) better monitoring and better data will produce better outcomes at lower costs, and (3) the patient`s own their healthcare data and should be compensated for its use.
At TwinStrand Biosciences we are using Duplex Sequencing ™ Technology to detect ultra-rare variants that are invisible by other sequencing approaches. We are applying our technology to a new generation of high-accuracy clinical diagnostics and innovative tools for scientific discovery.
Engage Therapeutics was founded by Greg Mayes, President and CEO; and Jouko Isojarvi MD, PhD Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer. Engage`s founders bring a combination of strong biopharma pedigrees and personal, family connections to epilepsy. Greg’s son has epilepsy, while Jouko has spent his entire career taking care of epilepsy patients as well as developing and commercializing approved treatments for this condition.
