Speaker Profile
Ph.D., Principal Investigator and CEO, InnoGenomics Technologies, LLC
Biography
My scientific interests include a highly sensitive cell-free DNA liquid biopsy assay for Colorectal Cancer patient treatment monitoring. This research was funded by NCI through an SBIR Phase I contract. The highly sensitive, proprietary assay produced significant results when CRC patient samples were compared with controls. This mutation agnostic test has the potential to transform the monitoring of many types of human cancer. InnoGenomics is continuing to develop this kit in collaboration with several highly respected cancer research institutions such as MD Anderson Cancer Center, Jewish General Hospital Montreal and Harvard School of Medicine. An NCI Phase II contract proposal for continued clinical research is pending with the goal of submitting a regulatory application for approval for use in clinical applications. InnoGenomics has seven awarded and several pending patents based on this platform technology. Prior to InnoGenomics, I previously founded and successfully exited from ReliaGene, a forensic DNA testing company.
