ProteinLogic

ProteinLogic is a biomarker discovery and exploitation company developing a novel diagnostic platform and diagnostic products that address key unmet medical needs in infection and inflammatory diseases. The Company has developed a proprietary biomarker technology (ImmiPrint®) with potential to diagnose and predict early onset of diseases, and to provide information as to how a disease is likely to develop and respond to particular drug treatments. The technology is based upon the profiling of a discrete subset of immune system proteins (‘sCD’) found in the blood and other body fluids.

ProteinLogic’s development pipeline comprises 14 different ImmiPrint® signatures in disease areas including infectious, inflammatory, autoimmune, oncology and metabolic diseases. Following commercial analysis, the Company has identified a significant unmet need for a simple, rapid, and inexpensive blood test that is capable of diagnosing tuberculosis (TB). Early clinical studies indicate that the ImmiPrint® TB signature may be able to discriminate between active and latent forms of TB.
