Founded by a doctor, an AI researcher and an entrepreneur, Spotlight Medical is tackling the major problem of unsuitable cancer therapies. Too many patients are offered unspecific treatments, reducing their chances of recovery and their quality of life. The founders of Spotlight Medical are deeply convinced that patient data contains a phenomenal amount of information that can be exploited by AI to identify the most suitable treatment for each individual and thus significantly improve care.
“Our extremely powerful and innovative technology opens up new perspectives for personalizing cancer treatments“, declares Sylvain Berlemont, co-founder and CEO of Spotlight Medical. “The potential impact on patient survival and quality of life is immense, promising a new era in personalized cancer treatment. Our mission is to make this happen for every patient and their families.“
AI tests developed by Spotlight Medical extract new biological information from patient data in a secure clinical setting. By predicting the effectiveness of the response to treatments, this information guides oncologists in choosing the most suitable treatment for each patient. This versatile technology is applicable to all types of cancers. The company will soon announce their first test that focuses on a key clinical question for patients.
The strategic alliance between Institut Curie and Spotlight Medical combines medical expertise, high-quality clinical data, advanced technology and industrial resources to accelerate the development and implementation of innovative solutions against cancer
.
“The launch of Spotlight Medical, based on the pioneering work carried out in the laboratories of the Institut Curie and drawing on clinical data from the Institut Curie, is further proof of our ability to develop entrepreneurial projects with high potential. Spotlight Medical paves the way for a major, innovative and promising improvement in patient treatments“, declares the Dr Cécile Campagne, Director of Development and Industrial Partnerships at the Institut Curie.
