“We are excited to present EMPIRI at this year’s Biotech Showcase in San Francisco. EMPIRI was recently awarded a highly competitive NIH R01 grant (non-dilutive funding of ~$3.1M in collaboration with Dr. Naoto Ueno, a leader in breast cancer oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, and our co-founder and inventor of our novel 3D culture method (E-slice), Dr. Kyuson Yun, a world renown cancer researcher at Houston Methodist/Weill-Cornell Medical College. NIH R01 grants are most rigorously reviewed by a panel of expert scientists, and this award provides a strong external validation for the innovation and potential impact of our technology in addition to testifying the strength of scientific data underlying our technology”
Biotech Showcase, produced by Demy-Colton and EBD Group, is an investor conference focused on driving advances in therapeutic development by providing a sophisticated networking platform for executives and investors that fosters investment and partnership opportunities. The conference takes place each year during the course of one of the industry's largest gatherings and busiest weeks.
“We are delighted that EMPIRI will be joining us in San Francisco and presenting at Biotech Showcase this year,” said Sara Demy, CEO of Demy-Colton. “Biotech Showcase is a prime occasion for life science entrepreneurs and investors to come together to discover the potential of innovative technologies that will drive the future of drug discovery.”
Biotech Showcase is an investor and networking conference devoted to providing private and public biotechnology and life sciences companies with an opportunity to present to, and meet with, investors and pharmaceutical executives in one place. Investors and biopharmaceutical executives from around the world gather at Biotech Now in its 15th year, this well-established, highly respected conference features multiple tracks of presenting companies, plenary sessions, workshops, networking, and an opportunity to schedule one-to-one meetings. This is the first year EMPIRI is presenting at this event. We are looking forward to meeting potential investors and clients for this groundbreaking functional precision medicine assay (now a CLIA LDT). We also want to let biotech and pharmaceutical companies aware of this technology that can transform their drug development pipelines, particularly for immunotherapies.
EMPIRI is a clinical-stage platform technology company founded in the Texas Medical Center (TMC), Houston, TX. EMPIRI’s mission is to revolutionize the way we treat cancer patients by identifying the optimal treatment for each cancer patient, empirically, to give them the best chance to fight cancer. EMPIRI’s novel 3D human tissue slice (E-slice) culture method enables drug testing from individual patient tissue directly, without the need for expansion or artificial manipulations outside of the body. This technology ensures the most faithful modeling of each patient's cancer outside the body, including the native tumor microenvironment and immune landscape. E-slice has demonstrated 100% accuracy in predicting colorectal cancer patient responses in two small retrospective clinical studies. Importantly, E-slices can measure immunotherapy efficacy ex vivo in 8 days from tumor-educated immune cells.
