Theranostics
Health (TH) is a privately held company founded in 2006. Its proprietary technology platform includes
fixative reagents, Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM), and
Reverse Phase Protein Microarray (RPMA). TH’s proprietary fixatives are
developed to both preserve cell morphology and
fix the state of cellular activities for molecular analysis. LCM is used to
isolate specific cell populations from many different types of cells usually
present in a clinical biopsy. Therefore, information derived from subsequent
molecular assays is specific to that cell population. RPMA enables
sensitive, quantitative, calibrated, multiplexed analysis of cellular proteins
from a limited amount of starting materials, such as clinical specimens. TH has
an exclusive license from the National Institute of Health (NIH) to
commercialize microdissection, including LCM, combined with protein analysis
for cancer diagnostics and companion
diagnostics. While providing research and
development services to pharmaceutical companies and
academic institutions for efficient and
effective target discovery and drug
development, TH is developing clinical tests, enabling physicians to tailor
optimized therapies for patients based on the biomarker profile of each patient’s
disease specimen. The technology, developed by the company’s scientific
co-founders, Drs. Emanuel Petricoin and
Lance Liotta, was first published in 2001 and
in the past 2 years has been used in studies published in more than 50
peer-reviewed journals and
presentations. TH’s technology was also successfully used in NCI-sponsored
clinical trials.
