Exosome Diagnostics GmbHBIOTECH THERAPEUTICS & DIAGNOSTICSKeywords: Clinical Diagnostics, Clinical Research, Genomics, PCR, CNS,Diabetics, Metabolic DiseasesExosome Diagnostics is a leading developer of blood and urine based moleculardiagnostic tests for use in personalized medicine. Exosomes are shedinto body fluids such as blood and urine forming a highly enriched sourceof intact, disease-specific nucleic acids. The Company‘s proprietaryXosome technology makes use of this natural enrichment to achieve highsensitivity and specificity for rare gene transcripts and the expression ofgenes responsible for cancers and other diseases. The Company is commercializingboth in vitro diagnostic and laboratory developed tests for use incompanion diagnostics and real-time monitoring of disease recurrence. TheCompany is located in New York, USA and Munich, Germany and is backedby an international consortium of leading venture capitalists.Contact:Dr. Mikkel NoerholmAm Klopferspitz 19D-82152 MartinsriedPhone: +49 (0) 89 416172-70Fax: +49 (0) 89 416172-69E-Mail: munich@exosomedx.comInternet: www.exosomedx.comEyesight & Vision GmbHBIOTECH DEVICES & REAGENTSKeywords: Devices, Automation, OphtalmologyEyesight & Vision is focused on intraoperative real-time laser diagnostics forrefractive eye-surgery.
