PathAI Announces Research Presentations at the 2024 AACR Annual Meeting

PathAI

PathAI, Inc., a leading AI-powered precision pathology company, today announced it will present research from its portfolio of oncology products at the AACR Annual Meeting on April 7-10, 2024, in San Diego, CA. The research demonstrates how machine learning models developed to characterize the tumor microenvironment (TME) from routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained whole slide images (WSIs) can be used to advance biomarker development and precision medicine strategies. The presentations include new research leveraging PathAI’s pan-tumor foundation models and its commercially available product, PathExplore 1, to identify key histologic features associated with molecular signatures and patient response to therapy. Highlights: Researchers deployed PathExplore on HNSCC and NSCLC samples to characterize the cell and tissue composition of the tumor microenvironment, as well as compute immune phenotypes directly from H&E WSI. (Poster #905 ) Researchers from Incendia Therapeutics developed a continuous scoring method for Discoidin Domain Receptor 1 (DDR1), which revealed widespread immune exclusion in tumors based on the spatial distribution of lymphocytes, CD8+ T cells, and CD45+ immune cells from H&E and mIF images. DDR1 is highly expressed in epithelial cancers and has been implicated in tumor growth, invasion, and lack of response to therapy. The immune exclusion score correlates with DDR1 mRNA and protein expression. The study provides additional insight into the role of DDR1 in human cancers and may be useful in selecting indications and stratifying patients for DDR1-targeted therapies. (Poster #2916 ) Using unsupervised learning driven by PathExplore’s features and a novel collagen fiber detection imaging technology, researchers discovered three distinct phenotypes of cancer associated stroma (CAS) that had distinct patterns of association with survival and gene expression signatures. Two of them were enriched in collagen fiber density as well as in density of fibroblasts, while the third phenotype had the highest density of immune cells, providing a categorization of different types of CAS-tumor interaction that may be useful for patient stratification. (Poster #4912 ) Using AI-powered models from PathAI, Foundation Medicine researchers investigated digital pathology TME features of immunotherapy outcomes among NSCLC patients within a real-world dataset from the Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine Clinico-Genomic Database. These results indicate that the composition of the TME assessed via digital pathology may have utility in identifying NSCLC patients who will respond to first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors beyond the established immunotherapy biomarkers. (Poster #4969 ) In collaboration with EMD Serono, AI-powered TME models from PathAI were used to analyze H&E WSI of NSCLC from a randomized Phase 3 trial directly comparing two immunotherapies. Researchers compared cell abundance features with gene expression data from the same samples and found that immune and stromal cell abundance features were associated with expression of genes in relevant cellular pathways, confirming the biological relevance of our cellular features. In analyzing the features alongside the clinical data from the retrospective study, researchers identified candidate prognostic immunotherapy biomarkers. (Poster #6179 ) Researchers from Incendia Therapeutics illustrated that morphologic features derived from H&E images using PathExplore can be effective predictors of CD8-defined immune exclusion, providing an option for patient stratification by immune phenotype using widely available H&E images. The features and direction of association align with prior knowledge of the mechanism or manifestations of immune exclusion or infiltration in the TME, including the relative density of lymphocytes in tumor and stroma. (Poster #7392 ) PathAI’s pan-tumor foundation models were used to identify tissue regions and cell types on H&E WSI to quantify tumor purity across multiple tumor types. Model-derived tumor purity estimates were compared to three orthogonal molecular methods of purity and found to correlate across disease indications. These results provide evidence of how AI can improve the efficiency of molecular testing and enhance precision diagnostic strategies.

Analyst Crypto Jebb Urges To Buy Ethereum Right Now! Cardano Left in the Dust As KangaMoon Bull Run Continues!

Kangamoon

Renowned analyst Crypto Jebb has been talking about Ethereum (ETH) a lot lately and people are starting to listen. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) has been outshined by many altcoins like KangaMoon (KANG), which is on a massive bull run. This Stage 5 presale star has already provided early buyers with 291% ROI, causing many experts to hint at a $0.5 price in 2024. Crypto Jebb: Ethereum Price Will Moonshot Recently, Ethereum (ETH) has been on an uptrend. Over the past 30 days, the Ethereum price soared from $3,409 to $3,557. During that time, its market cap increased from $410B to $427B. According to crypto analyst Crypto Jebb, this bullish trend will continue for the Ethereum crypto. He forecasts a potential 10x on ETH within the next ten years. This altcoin's technical analysis also shows a bullish future. For instance, Ethereum is now trading above its 100— and 200-day EMAs. Additionally, 25 technical indicators are showing green for ETH. As a result, experts have made a bullish Ethereum price prediction. They foresee this altcoin's price hitting $4,489 within Q2 of 2024. Cardano (ADA): Trading in the Red On the other hand, Cardano (ADA) has been trading in the red. According to CoinMarketCap data, the Cardano price sank from $0.73 to $0.63 over the past month. In that period, its market cap also fell from $26B to $22.46B. However, the technical analysis for this altcoin paints a different picture. Notably, the Cardano coin is trading above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Additionally, this altcoin now has over 20 technical indicators showing bullish signs. Due to all these reasons, market analysts have made a bullish Cardano price prediction - a rise to $0.86 within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): Becoming One of the Altcoins To Watch While Ethereum and Cardano experience ups and downs, KangaMoon (KANG) has surfaced as an unexpected contender. This presale star has already soared by 291%, with 20,000 registered community members. Moreover, KangaMoon has raised over $3.9M and projects reaching $5M before April 2024 ends. Essentially, KangaMoon will develop a Play-to-Earn (P2E) game in which KANG will serve as the main in-game currency. With KANG, you can buy character upgrades or in-game items. Additionally, KANG holders gain exclusive access to challenges for extra tokens or in-game items. Another impressive part of KangaMoon is its dedication to cultivating an active community. As an example, users can earn free KANG tokens by being engaged members before the official launch. This has caused a significant surge in social media interaction as traders eagerly like, share and retweet KangaMoon's content. All these factors have helped KangaMoon obtain over 5,800 holders. Currently, one KANG token costs just $0.0196 - a 291% rise from its starting price of $0.005. Experts remain bullish as they forecast a rise to $0.5 once a Tier-1 CEX lists this altcoin in Q2 of 2024. This price prediction seems plausible with ties to the P2E gaming market, which will reach $885M by 2028. Will KangaMoon Rise Faster than Ethereum and Cardano? With its low $14M market cap, KangaMoon could outshine Ethereum and Cardano. This means it needs fewer new funds so the price can skyrocket faster.

What's next for Bitcoin? ETC Group CEO breaks down ETFs & market trends

HANetf Holdings Limited

ETC Group CEO Tim Bevan discusses the recent volatility in Bitcoin prices, attributing it to macroeconomic factors and specific market events. In an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, Bevan noted the unexpected strength in the US economy indicated by recent jobs data, which has led to revised expectations for interest rate cuts, impacting risk assets like Bitcoin. The movement of $2 billion worth of confiscated Bitcoin related to the Silk Road case onto a Coinbase account by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has also contributed to the market's instability. Despite these short-term drivers, Bevan views the fluctuations as part of Bitcoin's usual trading range. Regarding the likelihood of an Ethereum ETF in the US, Bevan indicated a negative shift, citing the SEC's increased efforts to classify Ethereum as a security. This classification, driven by interactions with the Ethereum Foundation and the transition to proof of stake, marks a significant regulatory change and dampens the immediate prospects for an Ethereum ETF. Nonetheless, Bevan remains hopeful for developments later in the year. Bevan also commented on the London Stock Exchange's (LSE) decision to launch a segment for crypto ETPs, viewing it as a positive step for market legitimization. However, he critiqued the exclusion of retail investors from this segment, suggesting it could limit market liquidity and appeal. Lastly, Bevan discussed the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, a reduction in the reward for mining Bitcoin, anticipated around 20 April. He stressed that while the halving itself may not instantly affect prices, its long-term impact on supply could be significant.

AI platform SiftHub raises $5.5m as it rescues sales & presales teams from repetitive tasks

SiftHub

Information overload from ad campaigns, email marketing, and a company’s website means that buyers are equipped with more than a basic understanding of a product or service well before a sales meeting. This means sellers need deeper product knowledge and easy access to proprietary company information to win new customers. However, the current sales tech stack does not support this foundational shift in the role of sales and presales teams. AI platform for sales SiftHub has today raised $5.5 million in seed funding to help sales and presales teams discover knowledge and generate responses to customer needs immediately. The funding round was led by Matrix Partners India and Blume Ventures with participation from Neon Fund and executive operators and founders from Superhuman, Cloudflare, DevRev, RazorPay, and SuperOps. SiftHub’s AI platform is changing how sales and presales teams discover up-to-date information and generate accurate responses grounded in company knowledge. No more “I’ll get back to you”s that could lead to a lost opportunity. One-click integrations with workplace apps such as CRM, content repository, knowledgebase, and more allow SiftHub to bring all enterprise knowledge into a single, accessible hub. Its unified semantic search capabilities make it easy to find the right information at the right time without toggling between screens. “After speaking to 200+ leaders, it dawned on me that it’s completely unreasonable to expect sales and presales professionals to memorize all the ins and outs of the product in order to be able to respond to clients with complex technical details. Trying to find up-to-date accurate information when it is scattered across Slack, Gmail, Drive, HubSpot, Confluence, and more is incredibly difficult. The fact that sales spends only 30% of their time selling cries for a change - and that’s where our platform comes in.” said Manisha Raisinghani, Founder of SiftHub. SiftHub is uniquely positioned to deliver secure, private, access-controlled answers that trace back to the source. Using RAG technology and fine-tuned LLMs with industry-specific knowledge training, SiftHub allows companies to generate personalized responses with zero hallucinations. This guarantees increased transparency and reduced risk and inspires absolute trust to use AI for all their needs. Now, sales teams can finally focus on what they do best - selling! SiftHub simplifies the usually time-consuming back-and-forth between sales and various other teams as a deal progresses. With its easy-to-use project management and seamless workflow automation capabilities, the platform helps streamline collaboration between teams as they complete infosec questionnaires, vendor assessment forms, RFPs, and RFIs. SiftHub was founded in July 2023 by Manisha Rasinghani, a second-time founder. Before SiftHub, she co-founded LogiNext as CTO and raised over $50m from Tiger Global and others. “GenAI is not just a technology, it’s a revolution in productivity. It unlocks the ability to solve a legacy problem in a modern way improving efficiency by 80%,” said Manisha Raisinghani, “By integrating GenAI with advanced workflow automation and collaborative capabilities, we’re providing an end-to-end solution for our users. From the moment the first information request is received to the closure of each sale with satisfactory responses, SiftHub will remain a trusted partner for sales organizations.” Pranay Desai, Managing Director at Matrix Partners India commented: "Buyers have become smarter and engage sales later in the buying journey, with more advanced questions. As a result, the expectation from sales teams has changed - they need to know advanced product, technical, and legal information to get the win. Sales and presales teams lack the necessary tooling to handle this new selling environment. We are excited by SiftHub's vision to use AI to manage product knowledge so that sales can focus on relationships." Sanjay Nath, Partner at Blume Ventures, said, “SiftHub is Manisha’s second venture in the SaaS space. Armed with over a decade of entrepreneurial experience and an impressive track record, Manisha and her team are building a game-changing AI platform to transform the entire sales and presales process. We are excited to back the SiftHub team and be a part of their ambitious journey.” About SiftHub Founded by Manisha Raisinghani, SiftHub is an AI platform that acts as a central hub to collate and sift through all your content scattered across multiple repositories and tools. Through accelerated knowledge discovery and automated response creation, SiftHub empowers your sales and pre-sales teams to improve win rates and close deals faster.

KangaMoon (KANG) Surpasses $3.7M Milestone, Myro Surges 34% Can PepeFork Keep Up?

Kangamoon

Myro (MYRO) has recently made a major price jump, where throughout the span of a single week, it increased in value by 34%. Moreover, the KangaMoon (KANG) presale-stage project raised over $3.7 million, and could soon raise even over $4.5 million. As a result, sentiment is massive surrounding these two cryptocurrencies, but many are curious if PepeFork (PORK) can keep up. To see if this will be the case, we will go over all three individually, and determine which is the best cryptocurrency to buy today. Myro (MYRO) Grows 34% – Price to Spike to $0.471 by End of Q4 Myro (MYRO) gas experienced a substantial price climb which has resulted in a monumental level of interest towards the crypto from investors and traders. Moreover, during the past month, the Myro price saw a price increase of 102.2%, and within a single week its up 34%. Just during the previous week, the Myro crypto experienced a jump from a low point of $0.2286 to a maximum value at $0.3647, signifying a 34% price jump. As a result, sentiment on its future is massive, and according to the Myro price prediction, it can end 2024 at $0.471. KangaMoon (KANG) to Spike 5,000% Fueled by Vast Ecosystem KangaMoon (KANG) is one of the latest projects to enter the industry and it has already seen a significant price upswing, alongside a rapid presale momentum. Specifically, this is a project which introduces Play-to-Earn (P2E) elements alongside a community-driven approach, and Social-Fi features. Anyone can control a KangaMoon character, where they can engage in battles or attend tournaments. By doing so,they are rewarded KANG tokens or rare NFTs. These can later-on get sold in the marketplace, while other NFTs can be bought or traded. During Stage 4, KANG has increased in value to $0.0014, marking a 180% jump from its initial price. In addition, its raised $3.7 million and can hit $4 million by next week. As a result, sentiment is bullish on its future and analysts project a 5,000% increase at launch. These aspects position KANG as one of the best cryptocurrency to buy today. PepeFork (PORK) to Initiate Recovery Despite 50.8% Dip PepeFork (PORK) has seen a negative price trend which has resulted in a significant price decrease. Within the past two weeks, the PepeFork price has decreased by 50.8%. Moreover, just within the span of a single week, the price of the PepeFork crypto is down 32.6%, and now, it needs to regain the attention from bulls to get back up in value. The monthly high for PORK was at $0.0000007057, while the monthly low was at $0.0000002413. However, its still 254.37% up from its all-time low two months ago, which does showcase some signs of a potential recovery. According to the PepeFork price prediction, it can end 2024 at $0.00000094. Summary While both Myro and KangaMoon have showcased impressive performance, PepeFork has seen a price dip which resulted in bearish market sentiment. As a result, those looking to diversify their holdings and get massive ROI are now eyeing KANG, as it can spike 5,000% at launch, making it one of the best cryptos to invest in.

Reflection Analytics’ Reflect Platform Named to the Prestigious WealthTech100 Ranking of the World’s Most Innovative Technology Providers

Reflection Analytics

Reflection Analytics, a technology company delivering ESG investment evaluation, reporting and advisory services, announced today that its Reflect software platform has been named to the prestigious WealthTech100 list of the world’s most innovative technology providers that are transforming the operations of investment firms, private banks and financial advisors. Reflect is the first and only platform for investor-focused ESG analysis, serving asset managers, financial advisors and investors/institutions across six key areas: advisory, due diligence, compliance, portfolio management, auditing and reporting. Reflect’s inclusion on the WealthTech 100 comes within Reflect’s first year as a compliance tool. “This recognition by the WealthTech100 is validation for Reflect,” said Jason Britton, founder and chief executive officer of Reflection Analytics. “The Names Rule requires funds generally aligned with ESG terms to have a minimum of 80 percent of its holding invested in what the average investor would consider the plain English meaning of those terms. Reflect is basically a lie detector that investors and fund managers can use to determine whether funds comply with that common-sense, truth-in-advertising standard.” Launched today by FinTech Global, a specialist research firm, The WealthTech100 shines a spotlight on the WealthTech companies that every stakeholder in the wealth management industry should know about. The finalists were picked by a panel of analysts and industry experts, and judges were tasked with reviewing a list of more than 1,300 companies, with FinTech Global providing detailed information on each company to aid the decision process. To make the list, the panel looked for companies that are helping address some of the biggest challenges and opportunities within wealth management. The list highlights the leading companies in areas such as client acquisition, financial planning, portfolio management and digital brokerage. "As the great wealth transfer takes place, wealth management firms are seeking ways to update their operations to meet the demands of future customers,” said FinTech Global director Richard Sachar. “While older generations preferred a human-touch, younger generations place quick, simple and digital processes at the top of their requirements. The WealthTech100 list provides senior decision-makers with a guide on the best vendors in the market and practical examples of how the latest AI advancements are transforming the investment industry.” Launched just two months after the SEC expanded Rule 35d-1, the “Names Rule,” to include ESG terms, Reflect is the market’s only “Names Rule"-compliant software, providing an investor-focused rating that scores companies across 250 data points in 18 ESG sub-themes while also offering asset managers a portfolio management tool to ensure continuous compliance. Under the SEC’s expanded rule, asset managers have 24 months from September 2023 to begin reporting on their alignment, demonstrating that 80% of their investments are in securities that reflect the terms in their name, or risk regulatory fines and fees. Unlike other ESG rating companies, which focus on only financial materiality and from the corporation’s management perspective, Reflect assesses companies from the perspective of an investor’s understanding and reasonable expectations. Beyond its use as a compliance tool, Reflect is designed to support values-based investing. The Reflect platform allows advisors, investors and institutions to review portfolios based on ESG components that are most important to them while also identifying types of companies to avoid, such as those associated with weapons or alcohol. After analyzing an investment portfolio, Reflect provides a real-time, percentage-match score, rating investments across 18 sub-themes ranging from “not aligned” to “strongly aligned.” Reflect can also weigh an existing portfolio against a curated list of investments, allowing individuals and institutions to compare assets via a side-by-side analysis. A full list of the WealthTech100 and detailed information about each company is available to download for free at www.WealthTech100.com. About Reflection Analytics Reflection Analytics’ patent-pending software—Reflect—is the only ESG ratings tool designed to serve asset managers, financial advisors and investors/institutions across six key areas: advisory, due diligence, compliance, portfolio management, auditing and reporting. Unlike other ESG software, which are reliant on rating methodologies rooted in the corporate perspective, Reflect analyzes 250 data points from an investor-focused viewpoint. As the industry’s only “Names Rule-compliant tool,” Reflect helps portfolio managers meet new compliance standards, with the SEC’s expansion of the “Names Rule” to include ESG funds taking effect in less than two years. Reflect maintains comprehensive self-reported and third-party data on 6,500 companies, or 98% of the global market cap. For more information, visit: www.reflectvalues.com.
