THE NASH CHALLENGE
 
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a form of fatty liver disease (steatosis) that occurs in persons who drink little or no alcohol. Untreated it can progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer.  10% of children and young people diagnosed with NAFLD progress to advanced liver fibrosis and are at risk of developing advanced stages of liver disease. The only way to identify people with NASH is by performing an invasive liver biopsy. There is an urgent need for technology for early detection and assessment of the severity of NAFLD. Stemnovate brings to market liver platform that can help the scientific community, clinicians and pharma develop better diagnosis and novel treatments for NASH.

BIOINFORMATICS AND DEEP LEARNING

Stemnovate in vitro testing platform simulates the liver response to evaluate predictable and unpredictable hepatotoxins over the breadth of the genetically diverse human population. The processes are highly data-driven with high-resolution images, genomic profiles, biological information, molecular and metabolite profiles. The machine learning can correlate, assimilate and connect the data more rapidly to help discover patterns. Our approach for deep learning will allow data exploration to identify key features and design of the cognitive network that can automate the prediction of toxicity and will be a game-changing technology for precision drug discovery.

  1. Stemnovate is capable of designing and manufacturing a bespoke fluidic component to enhance repeatability of complex cell culture
  2. As a company, we are able to quickly design, validate and manufacture prototypes and complex designs
  3. Once a methodology is optimised the process can be set for reproducibility and automation
  4. We support projects to achieve a higher standard of accuracy, evaluating biocompatibility and tolerance.
