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).

Left unchecked, two base rats, a male and a female, can result in 15,000 descendants in about 12 months. It`s easy to see how quickly this can lead to infestations and even population rebounds if just two rats are left behind after a knockdown program. That`s where we come in. We`re SenesTech, the rat fertility experts and the makers of ContraPest®, the first and only EPA-registered rat fertility restrictor impacting both male and female rats. We make it possible to target both ends of the lifecycle—birth and death—by adding fertility control to your integrated pest management (IPM) solution. Controlling the birth rate with ContraPest will magnify the success of your existing IPM protocols. ContraPest is the one-of-a-kind, innovative technology that targets the reproductive capabilities of both male and female Norway and roof rats. Sweet and fatty, it`s highly palatable like a “milkshake” rats can`t get enough of. By using ContraPest, you can reduce the rat population and keep it down because ContraPest works!
