Founded out of Yale University, CGI (formerly Cellular Genomics Inc.) began operations in 2000. CGI, in conjunction with several biotech and pharmaceutical partners (Pfizer, Serono, Lilly, Affymetrix, and Schering AG), utilized a unique chemical-genetics approach known as “ASKA” (Analog Sensitive Kinase Alleles) to understand kinase function. CGI Pharmaceuticals is dedicated to the discovery and development of breakthrough small molecule therapeutics for a broad range of oncology and allergy/autoimmune/inflammatory disease (AAID) indications. The Company’s fully integrated drug discovery infrastructure comprises proprietary kinase biology and chemistry, extensive lead generation and optimization capabilities, as well as drug metabolism/pharmacokinetics (DMPK) expertise. Utilizing its comprehensive chemistry capabilities, CGI has generated a proprietary small molecule kinase inhibitor library of over 50,000 compounds (all compounds designed and synthesized by CGI). To date, CGI has been awarded 8 U.S. patents covering its novel collection of kinase inhibitors. Moreover, all three of CGI’s drug discovery and development programs are based on hits obtained from CGI’s library.

Signpath Pharma is a development stage biotechnology company founded in 2006. Its lead compound is 99.2% pure synthesized curcumin (diferuloylmethane). Curcumin has an extensive and long history in humans as a mixture of naturally occurring curcuminoids in extracts of the root of the Curcuma longa plant. Traditional use of curcumin has been restricted to topical skin and gastrointestinal conditions because of negligible absorption when given orally. To extend its clinical use Signpath is developing three different intravenous nanoparticle-sized formulations; liposomal, polymeric, and PLGA. Proof of efficacy of these formulations against human tumor xenografts in mice has been established. Following intravenous injection of each formulation, we observed transport across the blood brain barrier in mice, rats, and localization in the hippocampus, brainstem and the striatum.

These tests generally fall into three categories: - Personalized Medicine: Their patented platform technology for measuring biomarkers in tumors is highly unique in that it combines the visual advantages of classical pathology with the multiplex capabilities needed as a result of genomics and proteomics. This technology is now being used to develop tests to predict responses to several new targeted therapies for kidney and lung cancer. - Early detection of lung cancer: 20/20 is developing a blood test for the early detection of lung cancer. This product will be used for screening smokers and former smokers to pre-select or enrich the patient population to receive annual CT scanning long before the disease becomes symptomatic. - Biological Detection: 20/20 is on the leading edge of developing technologies to help in the detection of biological toxins.
