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 7-14-16: Peregrine Licenses Exosome-based technology from UTSW (Inventors: Alan Schroit/Philip Thorpe) http://tinyurl.com/zszd4fj ...“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."
