Biomarker Discovery Platform for Cancer Therapeutics
CRO services for collaborative drug development
kinase cascade
Target Discovery
Identify pathways that drive disease progression and its molecular subtypes by learning from data gathered in clinicogenomic cohorts.
Therapeutic (Tx)
immune checkpoint drug
Patient Selection
Predict patient health outcomes based on the genomic biomarkers they exhibit. Match them to clinical trials that target those biomarkers.
Prognostic (Px)
Biomarkers involved in the pathway of a drug's mechanism of action (MOA) can be used to select patients for a clinical trial via in vitro diagnostics (IVD).
Despite average R&D costs of $793M, 90% of cancer clinical trials fail. Are fundamental biomarkers being overlooked?

Biology is interactive – computational biology should be too
Association Studies are Univariate
Correlate each mutation with the health outcome one-by-one. Lack of interaction means a separate hypothesis for each mutation. No patient-specific predictions, only population-wide statistics.

neural network topology
Neural Networks are Multivariate
Genes interact with each other, as they would in biology, within a unified algorithm. Predict patient-specific health outcomes. Prioritize population-wide biomarkers via permutation.
