Intrasense (FR0011179886 - ALINS), specialist in medical image solutions, is pleased to announce its nomination for the Prix Galien - MedStartup 2017, awarded by The Galien Foundation and Business.

The Prix Galien - MedStartup fosters and rewards the most promising companies that develop collaborative projects with innovative partners located in North America.

On October 26, 2017, the Prix Galien - attributed by a jury made up of worldrenowned figures – will reward the Franco-American project that best combines innovation, scientific excellence and market potential for healthcare.

After a selection process started in October 2016, Intrasense is now part of the three finalists in the category "Best collaboration or partnership with academia leading to a breakthrough solution".

The presented project allows the development of imaging biomarkers for liver tumors that will assess at a very early stage and with an unprecedented reliability the efficiency of drug-based therapies in liver cancers.

This project is the result of the collaboration with two very renowned partners:

"The MGH Research team is creating an innovative biomarker that we are implementing in our Myrian platform, while the First Affiliated Hospital is confronting it with the clinical reality of the thousand patients treated annually. We are very proud to be part of the finalists in the competition and we look forward to the announcement of the prize-winners."
