Salgomed, Inc. is a biotechnology company - and JLab San Diego alumni - developing solutions to complex medication situations where mulitple drugs are combined. The firmeffectively provides pharmaceutical companies and physicians with actionable information about the clinical efficacy of drug combinations. The firm's multi-disciplinary team has developed and validated novel search algorithms that can discover optimal combinations of these drugs. The firm builds a list of candidate therapies using genomic data, proprietary bioinformatics tools, and input from clinicians Then candidate drugs are tested and their combinations on patient's immune and cancer cells, using an in vitro biomimetic environment providing clinically predictive conditions. Starting from algorithms used in digital communications and in physics, the team has developed a platform that searches for large combined drug interventions, that tests many drug combinations - including immunotherapy drugs - and provides a probability of response to a therapy for each patient.
