ABOUT

Human biology-based methods offer a more effective way to understand the diseases that afflict us.

Medical research and testing methods need to start and end with human biology.

Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Diseases 

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death for men and women in the U.S., causing about 1 in every 4 deaths. CVDs are also the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year.

Now its time to modernize biomedical sciences

Cancer & Hematological Malignancies

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and accounts for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. The most common are breast cancer followed by lung, colon, prostate, skin and stomach cancers.

Top diseases we can find treatments for using modern technology

The Technologies We Promote Will Revolutionize Treatments, Advance Cures, Reduce Healthcare Cost, and Improve the Quality of Life.

Dementia & Neuro-degenerative Diseases

The cost of patient care and lost productivity for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s is estimated to reach a staggering $1.1 trillion by 2050 in the U.S. alone. Today, this cost is nearly $200 billion annually.

Arthritis, Rheumatic & Autoimmune Diseases

These diseases are among a broad range of 150 musculoskeletal conditions affecting millions of people globally. Pain and inflammation are hallmarks of these conditions. Many forms are debilitating, and some are life-threatening.

Immunity & Infectious Diseases

Infectious diseases can be among the most devastating type of diseases. Global pandemics like the one caused by COVID-19 resulted in nearly 5 million deaths worldwide, apart from incalculable economic damage.
