Power3 Medical Products, Inc. (OTC.BB:PWRM) is a breakthrough proteomics company specializing in the identification of disease footprints in the areas of chemotherapeutic drug resistance and the early detection of breast cancer and neurological diseases. The research platform is centered on the study of proteomics, the science of protein interactions within living cells. With a combined 50+ years of proteomic experience, the Company has identified 334 protein biomarkers with the following potential medical applications:
Breast Cancer Chemotherapeutic Drug Resistance
Alzheimer’s Disease Leukemia
ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Gastrointestinal Disease
Parkinson’s Disease Metabolic Syndrome
These discovered and patent-pending biomarkers solve critical challenges facing pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies and are currently being used to design tests to diagnose diseases and discover targets for new drugs to treat the diseases.
Power3 leverages its knowledge of proteomics to detect diseases earlier than currently thought possible. The focus of Power3’s efforts is on developing very sensitive patient tests that will enable doctors to diagnose and treat a disease before it becomes life-threatening or debilitating.
BC-SeraPro� is a blood serum test designed to diagnose breast cancer in individuals. The test is based on proteomic technology in which a blood serum sample drawn from a patient will monitor the concentration of each protein biomarker residing in a panel of blood serum protein biomarkers to determine if a patient has breast cancer. The biomarkers in the panel have been selected for their ability to discriminate breast cancer patients from non-cancerous patients. Power3�s statistical model evaluates the quantitative information of the protein biomarkers and automatically assigns a probability score. The probability score indicates to the physician that the patient �has cancer� or is �cancer-free�.
NuroPro� is a series of three separate and distinct blood serum tests designed to diagnose: Alzheimer�s, Parkinson�s or Lou Gehrig�s disease (ALS) in individuals. The test is based on proteomic technology, in which a blood serum sample drawn from a patient, monitors the concentration of selected biomarkers residing in a panel of blood serum protein biomarkers that determines if a patient has a Neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer�s, Parkinson�s or Lou Gehrig�s Disease (ALS). The biomarkers in the panel have been selected for their ability to discriminate diseased from non-diseased patients.
