Introducing the TechClusion Fund

Communication Service for the Deaf

CSD Social Venture Fund, a subsidiary of Communication for the Deaf, is proud to announce the launch of a new funding source for tech startups that prioritize inclusion and accessibility for deaf communities. The TechClusion Fund is a groundbreaking initiative that addresses a common oversight in technology development: accessibility. The fund was created with the intention of accelerating technology built by companies that create accessible products and services that benefit the Deaf community. Over the past 30 years, our society has experienced a rapid evolution in technological advancements. While these advancements generally improve our lives, we often see accessibility features added as an afterthought instead of being built into the original product design. This practice makes the user experience less than ideal for both those who do and do not use these features. “Accessible technology doesn’t just benefit Deaf communities,” explained Rosa Lee Timm, President of CSD Social Venture Fund. “When companies design their products with the needs of Deaf or disabled users in mind, they create a better experience for all users.” The TechClusion Fund was started with the intention of addressing these systemic and prevalent issues in tech by ensuring that entrepreneurs and developers are intentionally creating their products with all end-users in mind. “We expect that the impact of the TechClusion Fund will extend beyond the development of accessible products,” shared Greg Bland, Director of Business Development for CSD Social Venture Fund. “By focusing on startups who hope to have a positive impact on Deaf communities, we will see job creation and more opportunities for economic advancement for Deaf individuals.” Unlike CSD Social Venture Fund’s traditional VC funding, TechClusion is open to all tech-startups operating in the United States and not specifically Deaf-owned businesses. Applicants must demonstrate the following: How their work will positively impact Deaf communities. This can be through hiring Deaf and hard of hearing employees, Deaf ownership, or outlining how their product or service will contribute to deaf communities. A commitment to equitably hire Deaf, BIPOC Deaf, and other Deaf groups for various positions at levels of the company, including C-level positions, as the company grows. A commitment to both their company and TechClusion’s investment. For those who are interested in applying or learning more, you can visit CSD Social Venture Fund’s website or contact Rosa Lee Timm at svf@csdsvf.com for more information. CSD's Social Venture Fund is one of the only venture capital firms and incubators in the world supporting Deaf entrepreneurs and Deaf-owned and operated businesses. CSD SVF provides equity investments to Deaf-led businesses that exemplify CSD’s values: enhancing Deaf economic power, employing Deaf people, and creating social change. CSD SVF is committed to the success of each business, providing not only financial investment, but also access to tools and resources, enabling each Deaf-led business to thrive.

PathAI Announces Research Presentations at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s 38th Annual Meeting

PathAI

PathAI, a leading technology company which combines AI-powered pathology solutions with end-to-end central pathology and histology services, today announced it will present research underscoring the efficacy of PathExplore’s human interpretable features (HIFs) through three poster presentations at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s 38 th Annual Meeting on November 1-5 in San Diego, CA. The posters showcase how PathExplore provides high-resolution characterization of the tumor microenvironment (TME) through a standardized panel of HIFs derived from H&E whole slide images across multiple cancer types. Additionally, Incendia Therapeutics will present two posters reporting results that were generated utilizing PathExplore. “Building upon past publications and presentations, we continue to see the utility for histological features of the tumor microenvironment to further our understanding of disease biology, patient prognosis, and therapeutic response, which ultimately may lead to the discovery and implementation of novel biomarkers to advance precision medicine,” explained Mike Montalto, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, PathAI. All three posters demonstrate the correlation between specific HIFs and established molecular measurements of the TME (e.g., gene expression profiles of specific cell populations), as well as specific HIFs and complex molecular signatures (e.g., immune phenotypes) which could better aid in the identification of patients eligible for targeted therapies, or result in the identification of new histology-based biomarkers. Quantifying the effect of microsatellite instability and mismatch repair deficiency on the tumor microenvironment (Poster 73) In this research, PathAI investigated the potential to predict and compare microsatellite stability and mismatch repair subtypes in colorectal and endometrial cancers utilizing PathExplore HIFs. The findings suggest MSS/dMMR tumors may warrant consideration for immunotherapy due to their TME’s similarity to microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and tumor mutation burden-high (TMB-H) solid tumors and AI-powered analysis of H&E WSI presents a more accessible and scalable method than current dMMR testing options. This poster will be presented by Judy Chen and Shima Nofallah on Friday, November 3 rd. Poster hall hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. PT. Quantification of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from pathology slides reflects molecular immune phenotypes (Poster 122) In this research, PathAI deployed its PathExplore products on H&E WSI across eight cancer indications to extract HIFs quantifying the TME, including features that represent TIL fractions, densities, and distributions. Analysis revealed statistically significant correlations between TIL-associated HIFs with gene expression of known lymphocyte markers, as well as immune signature scores such as lymphocyte infiltration. These results show the predictive power that TIL-associated HIFs have for identifying immune phenotypes, as well as a promising direction for the discovery of histology-based immune biomarkers. This poster will be presented by Judy Shen on Saturday, November 4 th. Poster hall hours are 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. PT. Deep learning models identify key tumor microenvironment features associated with genetic signatures of UV metagenesis and alkylating agent treatment in melanoma (Poster 110) In this research, PathAI used PathExplore HIFs to investigate the association between TME features and mutational signatures indicative of UV mutagenesis, as well as alkylating agents-induced mutations. The results suggest that quantifying a tumor’s tissue and cellular composition can reveal meaningful information regarding the underlying mutation-driven or treatment-induced changes in the TME, which may have implications for therapy selection. This poster will be presented by Shima Nofallah on Saturday, November 4 th. Poster hall hours are 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. PT. Incendia Therapeutics (formerly known as Parthenon Therapeutics) posters In addition to the posters above, Incendia Therapeutics will present two posters on Friday, November 3 rd reporting results that were generated utilizing PathExplore. One poster (Poster 1287) compares PathExplore HIFs to mIF features and concluded that "TME models are a robust tool to distinguish tissue and cell features from H&E slides, comparable to mlF image analysis, but requiring less effort, time, and expense." In the second (Poster 1497), Incendia Therapeutics leveraged HIFs quantifying lymphocyte densities across cancer epithelium, cancer stroma, and the epithelial-stromal interface (ESI) to characterize barriers to lymphocyte entry into the cancer epithelium across immune phenotypes. More information on these posters can be found at https://www.incendiatx.com Please visit the PathAI booth, 615, to learn more and meet the team, or email us at bd@pathai.com.

Cardio Diagnostics Leverages AI To Combat Cardiovascular Disease

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 18 million deaths annually. That amounts to about one-third of all global deaths. Driven by epigenetics and artificial intelligence, what is being referred to as Precision Cardiovascular Medicine could help alleviate the burden of heart disease on patients worldwide. Cardio Diagnostics (NASDAQ: CDIO), an artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company that makes cardiovascular disease prevention and detection more precise, is a potential leader in this developing field of medicine. AI-Driven Currently, the risk for cardiovascular disease is assessed using two common lipid-based clinical tests: the Framingham Risk Score and the ASCVD Pooled Cohort Equation. The disease is then detected using several tests, including exercise ECG, coronary computed tomography angiography, cardiac catheterization, cardio magnetic resonance imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography and echocardiography. Cardio Diagnostics was formed to improve detection through further developing and commercializing clinical tests by leveraging artificial intelligence-driven technology to combat cardiovascular disease. With the goal of becoming one of the leading medical technology companies for improving prevention, detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease, the company has developed four patented/patent-pending and proprietary solutions. The first is Cardio Diagnostics’ coronary heart disease risk assessment tool Epi+Gen CHD, a test that predicts the three-year risk for a coronary heart disease (CHD) event – mainly heart attacks. Powered by AI-driven integrated genetic-epigenetics, the tool enables more effective clinical decision-making and earlier interventions. Along with improved survival, the company reports that the tool is associated with up to $42,000 in cost savings per quality-adjusted life year. The second product developed using Cardio Diagnostics’ AI-driven Integrated Genetic-Epigenetic Engine is PrecisionCHD, and the company reports that it is the only epigenetics-based coronary heart disease detection test in the world. A sensitive and non-invasive alternative to exercise and nuclear stress tests, PrecisionCHD is a blood test where a blood sample can be collected at home or in provider settings without the need to wait weeks or months to get tested or the need for fasting or exposure to radiation. Cardio Diagnostics says this test has demonstrated strong clinical value with 80% sensitivity for men and 76% sensitivity for women, compared to the much lower rates of 45% to 68% using exercise ECG, which measures the electrical activity of the heart during physical activity. Cardio Diagnostics’ Actionable Clinical Intelligence platform offers new epigenetic and genetic insights to clinicians prescribing the Epi+Gen CHD and PrecisionCHD tests, while CardioInnovate360 is a research-use-only solution to support the discovery, development and validation of novel biopharmaceuticals for the assessment and management of cardiovascular diseases. These solutions can potentially help address the needs of all major healthcare stakeholders. Easing The Burden Cardiovascular disease is a burden on all major stakeholders, including patients, providers, insurers and employers, who can face increased healthcare costs due to heart disease as employees with cardiovascular disease have medical bills that are over twice as high as those without the condition. Additionally, heart disease accounts for about a quarter of all emergency room visits related to chest pain according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, straining hospital resources and emergency departments that see the sickest of patients. Globally, cardiovascular disease is expected to result in a cumulative output loss of $47 trillion from 2011 to 2030 due to medical costs and productivity losses, according to data compiled by Cardio Diagnostics. While cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, it is in fact highly preventable, with WHO data suggesting that 80% of premature heart attacks and strokes are preventable. That means these costs can be avoided, too. Cardio Diagnostics seems well-positioned to leverage its scalable tests around the world to aid in reducing the incidence of heart attacks and other CHD events. Between their robust product pipeline with tests across the CVD continuum from heart attacks to heart failure combined with strong partnerships with key healthcare stakeholders, there is a defined path to reduce the global impact of heart disease. By proactively identifying and entering multiple international markets to drive global access to Cardio’s technologies, the company seeks to diversify the risks of depending on a single national market and build a sustainable global strategy. This worldwide focus, coupled with a presence in diverse markets, has placed Cardio Diagnostics among the leaders in this growing field of artificial intelligence-powered medicine. For more information on Cardio Diagnostics, visit their website Cardio Diagnostics is an artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company that makes cardiovascular disease prevention, detection, and management more accessible, personalized, and precise. The Company was formed to further develop and commercialize clinical tests by leveraging a proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Integrated Genetic-Epigenetic Engine (“Core Technology”) for cardiovascular disease to become one of the leading medical technology companies for improving prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

How Rexis Biotech Aims To Become The Nvidia Of The Consumer Products Industry

Rexis Biotech

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Click here to learn more about Rexis Systems’ crowdfunding raise, and how to invest Cannabis is going mainstream as more states legalize the leafy herb. That's spawning a multi-billion-dollar market for CBD and THC products, with manufacturers putting it in everything from candy to drinks. The cannabis-infused beverage category in particular is growing in popularity as people look for healthier ways to get a buzz. Last year, the cannabis drink market was valued at $0.4 billion. By 2032, it is projected to reach $8.3 billion at a 37.7% CAGR over 2023-2032. These drinks promise to give consumers a smoother, gentler taste with few calories and zero hangover in the morning. Rexis Biotech Inc., the biotech out of Delaware, is taking the cannabis-infused beverage market to the next level with its proprietary Fused Polymorph Nano Fiber Technology™ that enhances the benefits and effects of cannabis in drinks. The current cannabis-infused drinks on the market do provide a new experience to consumers, but there are some limitations. For starters, the body can’t efficiently absorb most plant-based ingredients like CBD, THC and caffeine. As a result, consumers typically only receive 10% or less of the ingredient in their system. It also takes longer to absorb into the bloodstream, usually 45 to 90 minutes, when using oil-based infusions. These tend to give more of an edible high, as they are processed during first-pass digestion, versus the smoking high that using nanotechnology is supposed to create. Up until now, nanoemulsions have been the go-to solution to solve for faster onset, but emulsions tend to be unstable, easily losing 30% efficacy within the first three months. On top of that, they often leave a bitter or oily aftertaste in your mouth. Rexis Enhances The Benefits Rexis Biotech reports that its proprietary drug delivery platform eliminates those undesirable aspects of nanoemulsions, allowing them to create a lineup of Hemp Delta-9 THC-infused beverages that both taste amazing and enhance the consumer experience. Squared, the first beverage out of the gate for Rexis, is a lineup of better-for-you-sodas that are both delicious and nutritious. Available in a variety of flavors from their Classic Orange Pop that tastes exactly like an Orange Crush to their High Spirits Awards-winning Sparkling Grapefruit, these cannabis-infused beverages onset in about 10-15 minutes and provide a reliable effect that’s closer to the dosage on the can. Rexis says it is able to achieve that thanks to its fast-acting nano fiber technology which enables the drink to quickly absorb through the buccal membranes in the mouth versus having to go through first-pass digestion like traditional edibles. This allows the body to absorb and process the Hemp Delta-9 THC faster and more effectively. Squared beverages are also formulated to offset in about an hour – a key differentiator. It puts consumers in the driver’s seat regarding how much and how long they want to feel the effects. Squared Is Just The Beginning Rexis is demonstrating its nanotechnology with the launch of Squared, but its vision is much bigger. It wants to share its technology, aiming to be the Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) or Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) of the consumer products industry. It envisions a world where brands license Rexis’s nanotechnology to enhance everything from drinks to food. Its partnership with 3Chi, Inc., one of the world’s largest hemp-derived consumer packaged goods manufacturers and retailers, underscores how it’s making that ambition a reality. Functional foods and beverages “Powered by Rexis” will be sold via their national distribution network, Wicked Smart Food Company, and they expect it to drive revenues of $24.6 million over the next three years. “Rexis separates itself from the competition with its technology. Their Fused Polymorph Nano Fiber is several steps above anything else that's in the marketplace right now. The quality of product that we have gotten from them is unsurpassed,” Justin Journay, 3Chi CEO, said when the deal was announced in July. The cannabis-infused beverage market seems to be taking off, and Rexis wants to be a leader. As more states legalize it and consumers clamor for healthier and tastier alternatives, Rexis is betting its proprietary nanotechnology will become the engine that drives these beverages like Intel’s chips power PCs. Rexis is the industry leader and pioneer in developing Hydrophobic Molecule Delivery systems. Leading in the innovation, production and formulation of water based ingredients for use in the Pharmaceutical and Consumer Packaged goods industry. Established in 2022, Rexis is building a core mix of proprietary IP used to sustain strong sales models with pharmaceutical licensees, consumer packaged goods manufacturers and clinical research teams.

Groundwork BioAg Supercharges Agricultural Carbon Sequestration

Groundwork BioAg

Groundwork BioAg ® announced today the global launch of the Rootella Carbon ™ program, based on mycorrhizal carbon - a frontier technology that leverages mycorrhizal fungi as a nature-based solution for carbon dioxide removal. Rootella Carbon harnesses the power of Rootella® – highly effective mycorrhizal inoculants that are proven to sequester significant amounts of carbon in cropland (1-4 tCO2eq/acre annually). This innovative, Verra-certified program represents a transformative approach to carbon sequestration for conventional and regenerative farmers alike. “Since our inception, we have known that mycorrhiza – the Queen of Biologicals™ – offers a compelling agricultural solution to mitigate climate change,” said Dr. Yossi Koffman, co-founder and CEO of Groundwork BioAg. “Rootella Carbon delivers on that vision by paving the way to a gigaton of CO2 sequestration in the next decade.” Rootella has been applied on over 4.5 million acres in 17 countries. Rootella Carbon Enrollment Unlocks New Value Carbon credit programs have been touted as a new revenue source for farmers, but adoption has been slow thus far due to high costs and practice change requirements. In a recent survey of top producers in the United States, 63% of respondents said they would enroll in a carbon program if a product like Rootella unlocks additional revenue and fits easily into existing farming practices. Simultaneously, carbon buyers are fueling demand for premium, verifiable credits to meet net-zero pledges responsibly and sustainably. This year, a select group of corn, soybean, alfalfa, and cotton farmers across eight states enrolled acres in Rootella Carbon, the first mycorrhizal carbon project in the world. “Clearly soil biology is the new frontier and will be for the next 10 years,” said Sledge Taylor, who farms corn, soybean and cotton on a multi-generational farm in Mississippi and enrolled in Rootella Carbon. "I invest in my soil; it is a true asset." Rootella Carbon Program Ushers in a New Asset Class • Enables Adoption by Conventional and Regenerative Farmers: Rootella Carbon provides growers the additionality, or practice change, needed for carbon credit eligibility, regardless of current cultivation practices. • Delivers Carbon Permanence: Mycorrhizal fungi are carbon’s main pathway into the soil. Up to 20% of plant photosynthate is passed to mycorrhizae, creating a positive net flux of carbon into the soil. Mycorrhizae aggregate soil particles to form stable and recalcitrant carbon-based molecules that persist in the soil for millennia. • Boasts Impressive Co-Benefits: Groundwork BioAg was the first to crack the code on mass production of mycorrhiza for mainstream agriculture. By joining the Rootella Carbon program, farmers can leverage the co-benefits of Rootella products, including increased yields, fertilizer savings, and stress tolerance, while earning carbon credits. • Generates Premium Carbon Credits: Rootella Carbon farmers expect to sequester 1-4 tCO2eq per acre per year—an unprecedented carbon sequestration rate. Carbon buyers gain access to high-integrity, high-volume, Verra-certified carbon credits. Enrollment in Rootella Carbon is currently open to farms with a minimum of 250 acres, at https://www.groundworkbioag.com/rootella-carbon About Groundwork BioAg Groundwork BioAg, a global bioagriculture company, leverages the natural power of mycorrhizal fungi to improve the productivity, sustainability and profitability of commercial agriculture and expand regenerative agriculture practices. Groundwork BioAg’s unique and proprietary manufacturing process was the first to solve challenges inherent in high-volume, supremely concentrated mycorrhizal inoculant production. We will not rest until every hectare of arable land is protected by mycorrhizae and every farmer benefits from higher crop yields while preserving our soils.
