Fc-folate conjugate for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer
Approximately 13% of women in the United States will develop breast cancer according to the American Cancer Society. That makes breast cancer the second leading cause of cancer death in women right behind lung cancer. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents about 10 – 20% of all breast cancers. Triple negative refers to cancer cells...

A novel diagnostic for human carcinomas as the first step towards treatment
Market Need:Unlike most mammals, humans cannot synthesise the sialic acid N glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc). Nevertheless, NeuGc is understood to be preferentially taken up by human cancerous cells and subsequently secreted into the blood. Hence, NeuGc represents a specific biomarker for detection of a range of human cancers.Currently available reagents...

Non invasive embryo screening for improved human IVF outcomes
Market NeedDespite growth in industry demand, IVF cycles currently result in low success rates, with reports indicating less than 20% of cycles result in a live birth. While part of this is attributable to the physical environment of the individual patients, part of the high fail rate of IVF is attributable to the clinical elements of the IVF process,...
