We have developed a high-sensitivity next-generation sequencing-based system for the detection of cancer mutations in miniscule concentrations of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in blood. Our technology addresses the significant barriers associated with harnessing the information contained in cfDNA by combining our proprietary techniques in molecular biology and computational algorithm for error suppression. With our technology, nanogram quantities of highly-fragmented cfDNA can be amplified more than 1000-fold, and a panel of tens to hundreds of cancer-related genes can be screened with a sensitivity at the single-digit molecular level.
Metavention is a venture-backed medical device company founded in 2012 that is developing a novel glucose control therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes. Metabolic Neuromodulation Therapy (MNT) is a simple cardiovascular procedure intended to modulate sympathetic nervous system activity in patients with Type 2 diabetes for the purpose of lowering blood glucose levels. MNT was developed based on published scientific data and extensive animal studies suggesting a link between elevated sympathetic nerve activity in the metabolic system and increased levels of blood glucose. MNT is currently being studied in human clinical trials and represents a potentially important new treatment option for patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
