Next Pharma Inc.
NPI is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and will globally distribute and commercialize its AABH based diagnostic tests. NPI’s diagnostic tests are regarded as revolutionary as they can help to diagnose cancer at an early stage using a blood serum with high sensitivity/high specificity, fast turnaround (within 7 hours), are relatively inexpensive and are non-invasive.

VPNovodiax
Novodiax pioneered a 10-minute ihcDirectTM IHC detection for frozen section technology, which significantly saves time and reduces reagent consumption and costs with easy to use by reducing steps from traditional protocols. This innovated technology has removed many of the time constraining barriers that once prevented application of IHC stains in intraoperative diagnosis and Mohs surgery labs.
Novodiax also provides multiplex IHC detection which accelerates turnaround time, increases instrument productivity and reduces reagent consumption.
In summary Novodiax enjoys the following major strength
1- Novodiax currently offers a 10 min IHC product line that can be used for intraoperative evaluation of frozen tissues and for Rapid On-Site Evaluation (ROSE) of biopsy specimens.
2- Novodiax will launch in Q4 2020 an advanced automation system including a rapid compact IHC stainer and a superfast FFPE tissue pre-treatment device along with tens of ihcDirect® IHC reagents. This affordable system is a perfect solution for any situation where a rapid turnaround time is needed, such as, the rush cases using FFPE tissues in large medical centers. Our 10 min intraoperative and ROSE protocols will be available on the system too.
3- Novodiax products have already been optimized for Leica staining instruments and can be optimized for all automated staining platforms in the market.
4- The rapid turnaround time of Novodiax’s reagents and instruments offers a natural advantage for multiplex applications.

Mr. Keith Ignotz
President & CEOOncoMyx Therapeutics
OncoMyx Therapeutics is developing potentially best-in-class (multi-armed, IV/systemically-delivered, precision medicine) oncolytic immunotherapies based upon the myxoma virus (MYXV) platform, and we have demonstrated mechanism of action and combinatorial efficacy (tumor growth inhibition) when dosed IV with various checkpoint inhibitors in multiple animal models. Our company has the industry’s most experienced oncolytic virus (OV) development team and an experienced SAB, and CEO Steve Potts was previously an executive at Ignyta (acquired by Roche for $1.7B). OncoMyx raised a $25M series A in June 2019 to advance our lead preclinical program to IND, and among our investors are BIVF (exited OV investment ViraTx for $244M at preclinical stage in 2018) and Jonathan Lim (Ignyta CEO & current Erasca CEO). On the heels of presenting our preclinical data at SITC and announcing the appointment of Mirati CEO Chuck Baum as our new Chairperson, OncoMyx is seeking a $50M+ series B/crossover to prepare for an IPO and focus on a future transition into a clinical-stage organization. Pasted below are links to our SITC posters and some recent Fierce and BioSpace articles focused on our company.
