Clinical Dx Showcase:
Oncobox
Oncobox is a cancer diagnostics company with true clinical data and unique algorithms. Backed by a multidisciplinary team, 30 publications in 2 years and Y Combinator recognition.
AI-Guided Development Of Novel Companion Diagnostics
Employing gene expression data intensified by AI allows designing affordable and powerful all-in-one test (incl. TMB, infiltration, IHC, and targets activation), applicable for drug selection or signature for a specific drug. Oncobox clinical trial (n=238) recorded an increase of up to 55% response-rate (vs. 30%, RECIST) for advanced cancer patients (NCT03724097).
Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley
The PMWC 2020 Data Applications in Clinical Diagnostics Showcase will provide a 15-minute time slot for selected organizations, including commercial companies, clinical testing labs, and medical research institutions, to present their latest advancements, insights, applications, and technologies to an audience of clinicians, leading investigators, academic institutions, pharma and biotech, investors, and potential clients. We will learn about new technologies and findings that promise expedited, cost-effective, and accurate clinical diagnosis for early disease detection, treatment decisions, and disease prevention.
