DISCO’s pioneering surfaceome mapping platform transforms the current approach of target discovery for large molecule R&D. The technology identifies proteins and protein communities across the entire cancer cell surface in a scalable manner, thus addressing the need for target candidates for both mono- and bi-specific antibodies. These insights enable the development of a multitude of cancer-selective therapies, with the potential to boost efficacy and reducing side effects for patients.

fasciotens is a dynamic medical device start-up founded by surgeons for surgeons with the goal of improving open abdomen therapy. Our first product fasciotens®Abdomen was intensively developed for new indications, so that today fasciotens®Hernia and fasciotens®Pediatric are available in addition to fasciotens®Abdomen. The innovative fasciotens products use a patented, tissue-sparing technique to apply vertical traction to the fasciae of the abdominal wall, thus creating the conditions for direct abdominal wall closure in cases of open abdomens, complex hernias as well as abdominal wall defects of newborns. For more information, please feel free to visit our website or contact us directly at info@fasciotens.de. We look forward to hearing from you!

Personal MedSystems is a pioneer in digital health. The company develops mobile diagnostic devices to enable the delivery of mobile healthcare. The CardioSecur product portfolio comprises mobile 12-lead ECG technologies that allow both patients and physicians to perform an instant heart check wherever they are. CardioSecur is the first and only mobile 22-lead ECG system with only 4 electrodes for physicians and patients. As easy to use personalized heart check for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch it enables patients at all times to gain certainty about their hearts‘ activity. Its instant evaluation of ischemic and rhythmic disorders and resulting direct recommendation allow patients to act swiftly and appropriately. Physicians do have the unique opportunity to perform precise diagnosis based on 22-lead ECG data from the moment of the cardiac event. So far an often insufficiently screened area.
