CancerFree Biotech
CancerFree Biotech has a patented system to create patient-derived organoids (PDO) using a bionic tumor culture system, which can be used as an avatar to help physicians and patients develop the optimal cancer treatment strategy. The technology uses blood specimens, making it easy and non-intrusive, and has been successful in deriving 130+ different types of solid tumors from real-world cancer patients. CancerFree Biotech is also collaborating with pharmaceutical companies, using their PDO model to predict clinical trial outcomes during the drug development process, potentially helping to validate compounds during the preclinical and clinical trial phases. | CancerFree Biotech has developed a proprietary cancer cell culture system called E.V.A. (Ex Vivo Avatar). E.V.A. combines 3D cell culture scaffolding with AI image recognition to facilitate tumor cell proliferation. Using just 20mL of patient blood, the platform grows tumor cells to generate heterogeneous organoid models that closely mimic the patient’s internal tumor. These models allow pharmaceutical companies to identify the best candidates for clinical trials by validating the efficacy of their drugs in suppressing tumor cells from real patients. | CancerFree Biotech has developed Prometheus Lab AI, a smart-glasses platform that automates R&D lab documentation. With hands-free, real-time workflow capture, Prometheus converts visual input into structured experiment records, reducing manual errors and significantly cutting down on documentation time.
