Novoviah Pharmaceuticals
Novoviah has developed a best-in-class diagnostic and monitoring platform for rare antigen-specific T cells, providing the versatility of ELISpot with the sensitivity of tetramer assays. Requiring only 12ml of unseparated blood, the system is currently used in a number of celiac disease multicentre clinical trials and is under development for T1D and melanoma. Novoviah is seeking prospective users or development partners for other T Cell-mediated diseases, including autoimmunity, cancer, and food sensitivity.
