PITTSBURGH and PORTLAND, Ore., April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — PredxBio, Inc., a leader in spatially intelligent biology, and Sirona Dx, a leader in single cell multi-omics, analytical services, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at reshaping the landscape of drug discovery and development. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in the industry, leveraging Explainable AI-Driven Spatial Biology with a groundbreaking new platform SpaceIQ™ to unlock the potential of genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic data through advanced spatial analytics.
The partnership combines PredxBio’s game changing spatial analytics platform, SpaceIQ™, with Sirona Dx’s unparalleled expertise in multiplex assay development. Together, they will identify novel spatial signatures in high-plex assays, predicting responses to therapy and informing treatment decisions. Sirona Dx will serve as a Contract Research Organization (CRO) partner, facilitating the deployment of Explainable AI-based diagnostic algorithms to support biopharma clinical trials. By harnessing multiplex assay development and genomic and transcriptomic capabilities, the collaboration aims to unravel spatial signatures in high-plex assays, enhancing predictions of immunotherapy responses and bolstering confidence in treatment recommendations.
B. Dusty Majumdar, PhD, CEO of PredxBio, remarked, “This partnership arrives at a crucial juncture in the spatial biology market, where precision convergence with multimodal data is imperative to unveil the hidden circuitries in the tumor microenvironment. Together with Sirona Dx, we aim to enhance prediction accuracies and drive personalized therapeutic options, leveraging insights into the spatial tumor biology of individual patients with our pioneering SpaceIQ platform.”
Through this strategic alliance, Sirona Dx and PredxBio will deliver advanced spatial analytics and explainable AI-powered decisions at scale, spanning the drug development continuum. Their solutions will integrate multimodal data, optimize clinical workflows, accelerate biomarker discovery, and empower personalized care. The companies are set to launch a suite of solutions combining genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic, and clinical data to explore spatial heterogeneity in the tumor microenvironment (TME). These innovative approaches will unlock key spatial interactions and microdomains within the TME, shedding light on disease progression and proliferation.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with PredxBio to elevate our precision convergence-based solutions, empowering biopharma and improving patient outcomes.” Andrew Brown, Ph.D., Chief Commercial Officer at Sirona Dx, added. “Our combined expertise in multiplexing, explainable AI, and unbiased spatial analytics will revolutionize spatial biology, yielding unprecedented insights to enhance future immunotherapy approaches.”
