ALL ABOUT PROTEINS WITH ERISYON

Detecting disease biomarkers:It’s very exciting to have access to so many interesting and innovative ways that people are addressing problems related to pandemic preparedness and global health security. Being on the founding team of TEXGHS (Science in the Mall, Y’all Episode 10), we have companies present to us their solutions for pandemic preparedness. Many of them are technologies that are brand new, as a response to the pandemic, and others are existing technologies with a new application or a renewed relevance. Member company, Erisyon, has been working on their single molecule protein sequencing technology since long before there was a pandemic. The ability to detect disease biomarkers which often have previously undetectable, but hugely consequential, post translational modifications, cancer cells expressing mutated antigens on their surface as well as, camouflaged viruses will provide huge breakthroughs in disease diagnosis and treatment. From the Erisyon episode of Science in the Mall, Y'all: 

 After several years of work, Erisyon is on its way to making this single molecule sequencing capabilities available to others with the commercialization of their unique instrument. We are excited to have a front row seat to this work and couldn’t be more excited at the possibilities this technology will provide. We sat down and talked to cofounders Angela Bardo and Jag Swaminathan in Episode 11 of our Science in the Mall, Y’all podcast. While it’s a complicated and brilliant technology, it was really fun to hear how well Jag was able to bring it down the layperson’s level with his simple analogies. It’s a fun listen and I encourage you to tune in.Nancy LyonInterim DirectorListen on your favorite platform:YouTube // Acast // SoundCloud // Spotify // iTunes // Google Play // Stitcher

March 11th - 14th 2022

The Global Health Security Innovation Week 2021 is the world's first conference focused on bringing together the health security and technology innovation communities to define and communicate today's most pressing challenges in preventing, predicting, detecting, and responding to global health security threats.

Organized by TEXGHS and the Global Health Security Network, GHS Innovation 2021 will emphasize the importance of locally driven innovation in emerging ecosystems (LMICs) and will promote  equitable access to technologies and resources for ensuring health security in all communities.  Together participants will create a roadmap and a call to action for innovators to solve the most pressing current and future challenges in global health security.

A lot has changed at ACC Highland Campus since the pandemic began. If you haven't been in to see the excitement in person, I invite you to explore the campus in this sneak peek video.
