Bile duct cancer is an aggressive form of cancer with an extremely poor overall five-year survival rate of just 2-5 %. Classified as an orphan disease, annual incidence in Europe and the United States of 15-22,000 patients, and a significantly higher incidence in Asia, makes it a major player and the deadliest of the gastrointestinal cancers. Only a small number of patients are eligible for a complete surgical resection by local resection or liver transplantation, and more than 50% of these relapse. The vast majority are treated by gemcitabine-based palliative chemotherapy with a life expectancy of 11 months, and five-year survival rate of zero %. Thus, there is an urgent and unmet medical need to develop new and better treatment strategies for these patients. The innovations developed by Seald are a result of adopting a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of bile duct cancer, based on extensive drug sensitivity assays on living cancer cells, molecular biomarkers, DNA sequencing, extensive bioinformatics analyses and zebrafish models. Sealds’s holistic approach is unique with possible modes of action that can be used on other solid cancers. Our technology includes drug repurposing and innovation on new medical substances, diagnostics and methodology. The stipulated pharma market globally is USD 2.1-4.2 billion, in addition to the markets for diagnostics and platform technology

New drugs for treating diseases of Down syndrome. More than 1% of the global GDP is spent on nursing demented people, and the number requiring nursing will triple within 2050. The disease is progressive, leading to death. There is no current cure available, only symptomatic treatments. Individuals born with Down syndrome have a more than 10x risk of developing dementia as well as a host of other diseases including diabetes. Our drug target, DYRK1A is an enzyme found on chromosome 21, and is considered a key factor determining developmental and medical challenges faced by individuals with Down. The enzyme interacts with multiple biological mechanisms involved in Alzheimer’s and autoimmune diseases. Advanced drug designUsing advanced drug design technologies, we have designed a potent DYRK1A inhibitor drug, PST-900. A use and substance of matter patent have been applied for. The company is currently working on chemical Lead Optimisation with 8 full-time medicinal chemists contracted.Financing and milestonesThe Company raised NOK 5 million in 2015 and 8.8 MNOK in 2016/2017, matching non-dilutive research (BIA) and business grants (Innovation Norway). We demonstrated Proof of Principle in a model system for Alzheimer’s disease in 2Q2016. We have also demonstrated that our drug is capable of reversing diabetes in an animal model. Together with clinical and regulatory advisors, we have identified an important unmet need for a drug to treat newly diagnosed diabetes. We will use this indication to quickly progress to market and from there develop analogous drug molecules in Alzheimer’s disease, focused especially in Down syndrome. Funding soughtThe current funding round will raise 15+ MNOK to fund the progression to the final Development Candidate during 2018. Following this, further funding will be sought to perform toxicology/safety and Phase 1 clinical studies.

Hos Ekilibre Pilates tar vi trening til et annet nivå. Vårt nyeste konsept heter Bevegelses Magi og bygger på gode erfaringer fra USA og Storbritannia. I bunnen ligger en solid treningsmetode som tar hensyn til kroppens fysiske, mentale og følelsesmessige sider. Konseptet retter seg mot tre målgrupper: 1) I samarbeid med Visit Lillehammer og Mølla Hotell kjører vi et pilotprosjekt mot MICE markedet på Lillehammer. Aktivitetsbyen Lillehammer kan tilby dette lille ekstra som tilfører kurset eller konferansen aktivitet, humor og bevegelse som deltakerne tar med seg tilbake til hverdagen. Vi legger til side alt prestasjonspress og finner tilbake til gleden over å bevege på seg og godfølelsen som gjør oss bedre rustet til å tåle stress og jag. 2) Bedrifter som tar bedriftenes bærekraft-mål på alvor. De ansattes fysiske og psykiske helse får en naturlig plass i hverdagen ved å inkludere Bevegelses Magi som et tiltak for å bedre de ansattes helse 3) Barn og unge er en gruppe som er spesielt utsatt og hvor prestasjonspresset kan stenge mange ute fra aktivitet. Bevegelses Magi for barn og unge legger aktivitet og mestring på et nivå som er tilpasset deres behov og ulikheter. Barn utvikler seg ikke likt og de utsettes for fysisk og mentalt press gjennom både skole, i fritiden og gjennom sosial omgang og ikke minst sosiale medier. Bevegelses Magi hjelper alle til å kjenne glede og mestring, noe som gir dem en indre styrke å bygge videre på. Vår erfaring er at gapet mellom de som driver med aktiv idrett og de som faller utenfor stadig vokser. De som har det største behovet for fysisk aktivitet har vanskelig for å finne sin plass. Vi har skapt Bevegelses Magi for at det skal være en plass til alle, fordi vi alle er forskjellige og alle trenger å bli venn med kroppen sin.
