Breakthrough Cancer Therapy
There's no current therapeutic approach to target hard-to-treat cancers. The company focuses on developing and discovering peptide-based solutions that enter the cells and target protein-protein interactions (PPIs), which act as regulatory points in many cell-signaling networks linked to the "hallmarks of cancer.” The company's flagship asset is a cell-penetrating peptide antagonist of the Oncogenic Transcription Factor that's active in many cancers such as GBM, melanoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, and others. This breakthrough solution demonstrates the targeted killing of multiple tumor cell types while preserving healthy cells. It reduces the expression of genes and proteins driven by C/EBP𝞫, can cross the blood-brain barrier, has a long plasma-life, and is highly resistant to degradation. They have recently dosed their first client. Substantial investment has been made to date.
Machine Learning-Based Triaging of Medical Symptoms
Using a computer and an offline mobile device, the system applies machine learning and artificial intelligence at the point of care to identify patterns in data sets like photographs. The system allows them to triage medical conditions for symptoms, count objects such as red and white blood cells, and distinguish patterns in microscopic images for blood, sputum, vision, and urine. Their telehealth services offer on-site video consultations to licensed physicians and specialists, with available patient records for data management and analytics. Pop-up clinics are also available in selected areas for direct consultation, treatment, and counseling for different cases such as infectious diseases, cancer, dental, ENT, and more.
