Our Vision
Evidence-driven precision medicine is becoming a game changer in cancer treatment. Data curation referring to genomics, pathomics, radiomics along with clinical outcomes harnessing artificial intelligence provide predictive mechanisms to assess response to treatment as well as to determine optimal treatment plans. Our vision is to introduce the first, self-contained, self-trained paradigm to thrive cancer research and treatment in a new dimension targeting drug development, treatment selection, treatment assessment and optimization of clinical outcomes. We offer a new/fully holistic approach for cancer research & treatment referring to macro/micro/nano scale integration of medicine, information theory and computational medicine.
Our Products
TheraPanacea exploits the latest scientific advances in the fields of machine learning, artificial intelligence & high-performance computing and simulation towards digital, personalized, adaptive medicine. Our product line focuses on prognosis, treatment and outcomes assessment. In particular we develop:
- The ART-Omics solution combines efficiently multiple information sources (radiomics, pathomis, genomics) for treatment prognosis targeting the acceleration of drug development as well as optimal treatment outcomes.
- The ART-Plan suite, a software technology/suite of radiation therapy (e.g. treatment planning system (TPS)) that is the first effective solution for direct dose estimation at planning, dose cumulative estimation and explicit dose adjustment at treatment.
- The ART-Guide solution that seeks to assist interventional radiologist surgeons in the context of computer assisted or robotic surgery. We provide automatic solutions for digital patient modeling, implant/trajectory optimization and real-time guidance.
Our Technologies / Intellectual Property Portfolio / Partners
TheraPanacea is a spinoff of the Ecole CentraleSupelec - one of the most prestigious engineering schools / "Grandes Ecoles" of France - that is the school of engineering of the University of Paris-Saclay. It exploits research/intellectual portfolio carried out in the fields of machine learning/optimization, computer vision/medical imaging and artificial intelligence in one of the world leading laboratories in these areas.
Our intellectual portfolio was built through of massive research investment of more than 10 mEU - from European, National & Industrial grants - during the last decade. Harnessing scientific excellence for cancer care is our approach for disruptive/cutting-edge innovation. In order to position ourselves as the leading innovative care in the field of cancer care, we adopt a collaboration/structured/premium research approach with:
Gustave Roussy is the premier European Cancer Center. It is a unique facility for patient care, research and higher education. It deploys cutting-edge research with the aim of making major discoveries, personalized & minimally invasive medicine and developing novel/innovative pathways to offer patients optimal care. Gustave Roussy is a source of innovations in treatment and advances in diagnostic techniques. It employs an integrated approach to research, patient care and teaching in order to benefit the patient, and it brings together all the skills which are essential for top quality research in oncology. This encompasses basic research, clinical research and translational research to link the two.
CentraleSupélec is an internationally-reputed Higher Education and Research Institution, funding member of the University of Paris-Saclay and its school of engineering. It has campus in three continents (Europe (FR), Asia (CN, IN) & Africa (MC)). Its excellence lies in its combination of fundamental and applied sciences for innovation with societal impact. It carries on research in the area of complex systems from nano-to-macro scale in collaboration with the leading national research centers (Cnrs, Inria). Sciences, and in particular applied mathematics, computer science and artificial intelligence are among the pillars of its research portfolio.
