BERG Announces Oncology Pipeline Advancements And Biomarker Developments For Clinical Decision Support In Breast Cancer At AACR
Company Seeking to Advance Protein Degradation Drug into Human Trials
FRAMINGHAM, Mass., April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BERG, a clinical-stage biotech that employs patient biology and artificial intelligence (AI) to research diseases and develop innovative treatments, today announced four presentations at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Virtual Annual Meeting, being held from April 9-14th, 2021.
"BERG has continued to advance our research through multidisciplinary collaborations to impact diagnostic and therapeutic development," said Dr. Niven R. Narain, BERG Co-founder, President and Chief Executive Officer. "BERG's platforms, such as BPM 31510 and BPM 42522, are creating valuable assets to help patients during these uncertain times in the areas of breast cancer decision-making, leading protein degradation drug development and skin cancers."
These presentations demonstrate BERG's ongoing partnerships with leading institutions, such as Walter Reed National Medical Center, Uniformed Services University, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer, University of Massachusetts and University of Oxford.
"The data presented on breast cancer biomarkers is a testament to the deepening relationship between BERG and DoD," added Major General (Ret.), USA, Elder Granger, MD, Chief Medical Officer. "Patients and physicians need to be armed with tools that allow for more specificity of diagnoses and precision in treatment and our work here is making that all possible."
