With PerkinElmer emerging in ASCO’2017 as a PPHM-Collaborator for The Biomarkers Project, a smart friend jiggled my mind with this possibility: PerkinElmer, Our Exosomes Partner?? I think it makes perfect sense. PKI's ($6.8B MktCap) big area in Health is Diagnostics...

PPHM's EXOSOME-BASED (PS Positive) CANCER DETECTION & MONITORING TECHNOLOGY ("Liquid Biopsy")
...Excellent Exosome (aka microparticles, microvesicles) info: http://www.exosome-rna.com
2-9-17/PR: PS+ Exosomes Proof-of-Concept Data (N=44, Ovarian, Dr. Alan Schroit/UTSW etal) Published 1-22-17 in OncoTarget http://tinyurl.com/jhv57ua
...Data (blinded plasma from 34 O.C. pts & 10 healthy subjects) supports the “high diagnostic power” of PS+ Exosomes in Ovarian Malignancies.
...Dr. Stephen Worsley (VP/BusDev): “...we believe this has potential applications in several solid tumors beyond ovarian cancer. With that in mind, we look forward to aligning with a partner to help explore the potential of this promising technology."
...PPHM’s PS Exosomes platform advantages outlined: UTSW/website and World Patent #WO/2016/201064: http://tinyurl.com/zbwr7cc

...“relates to assays that are able to detect small amts of PS+ Exosomes in a patient's blood sample as a way to detect cancer at a very early stage of development.”
...Dr. Jeff Hutchins (VP/PreclinRES): "Once we have successfully validated this assay, we plan to establish proof-of-concept through an efficient preclinical & clinical testing pgm. We have no intention of conducting further development work beyond the proof-of-concept stage. Rather, we expect to initiate partnering discussions for commercialization of this pgm in 2017."
