Based upon its proprietary Human Biomarker Library and Biomarker Hyper-Map technology (BHMÔ) platform, and supported by its new CLIA-certified clinical laboratory. Ridge Diagnostics researches, develops, and commercializes multi-variant biological marker assays and diagnostic algorithms to diagnose and monitor treatment for MDD and other neuropsychiatric disorders." Our BHMÔ approach incorporates multiple markers from distinct human biological pathways. These biological markers are mapped onto a multi-dimensional hyperspace model to create the hyperspace vectors that construct and define the patterns which can aid in classifying patients. A consistent change in these patterns is also used to evaluate the efficacy of antidepressant therapy. This approach has already received strong endorsement and support from thought leaders in leading medical schools and in the psychiatric medical community. Ridge is a member of the prestigious Massachusetts General Hospital Clinical Trials Network Initiative (CTNI). The MGH CTNI is involved with planning and executing clinical trials for most of the major pharmaceutical companies. Ridge expects that its breakthrough blood test will significantly advance the ability to effectively select, monitor and optimize depression treatment.

Zumatek, Inc.
Randolph McKinley - CEO (919) 225-3965
Zumatek, Inc. is a medical imaging company specializing in the development of leading edge 3D dedicated imaging technologies for enhanced lesion detection. Researchers at Duke University Medical Center founded ZumaTek for the purpose of commercializing a platform of innovative, patient friendly dedicated breast scanners designed to detect the presence of breast cancer much earlier than current technologies on the market. With the patient lying comfortably in the prone position, the scanners identify tumors in a patient's uncompressed breast by using either (a) nuclear medicine - to
detect chemical changes in breast cells that are associated with malignancy; (b) low dose x-rays to collect CT images of the breast and provide a road-map pinpointing the suspected malignancy in 3D; or (c) a combination of both technologies in a dual modality scan providing both functional and structural imaging simultaneously. The device has undergone extensive feasibility testing with patient trials planned for 2010. Advanced prototypes are available.
