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.

Prøv floating; legg deg i vann med epsomsalt som gjør at du flyter og føler deg vektløs. Vannet er kroppstemperert og rommet er lydisolert. Skru av lyset og koble fullstendig ut! Til høsten kan du floate i Bare Flyts splitter nye floatingsenter i Midtbyen i Trondheim. I USA har floating lenge hatt en høy stjerne, og floating har faktisk vært et fenomen siden 1950-tallet. I Sveits, Tyskland, Sverige og England har floating slått rot, og floating er langt på vei å bli et populært tilbud i Norge, og de siste årene har det dukket opp floatingsenter over hele landet. Vi er tre unge og ambisøse gründere som i fjor vår fikk en idé om å bygge og drifte et floatingsenter i Trondheim. Siden den gang har ballen rullet i økende tempo, og iløpet av høsten står Bare Flyt floatingssenter klart for å gi trønderne et svært godt tilbud innenfor floating therapy. På veien mot åpning har vi fått Rosenborgspiller og ex-landslagsspiller Alexander Søderlund med på teamet. Hva er floating?I floatingtanken flyter du i kroppstemperert vann, og du kjenner ikke hvor vannet begynner og kroppen slutter. Store mengder epsomsalt gjør at du flyter som en kork i vannet, på samme måte som i Dødehavet. Kombinasjonen av vektløshet, kroppstempererte omgivelser og fullstendig isolasjon fra omverdens impulser gjør at hjernen kobler ut sin overlevelsesmekanisme, også kalt «fight or flight mode». Dette gir et velbehag og en sinnsro du ikke oppnår andre steder. Hjerneaktiviteten minner om en dyp meditativ tilstand.På samme måte som trening er bra for deg, har floating en god effekt på din mentale og fysiske helse. Når overlevelsesmekanismen i hjernen kobles ut, senkes produksjonen av stresshormonet kortisol og produksjonen av gledeshormonet endorfin økes. Mentale fordeler ved floating: · Bedrer stressmestring · Senker nivåene på stresshormonet kortisol i kroppen · Øker produksjonen av endorfiner · Gir økt kreativitet, konsentrasjon, læringsevne og korttidshukommelsen · Øker evnen til å ta vanskelige beslutninger · Gir økt søvnkvalitet · Har positiv innvirkning på angst, utmattelse, depresjon og post traumatisk stresslidelse Fysiske fordeler ved floating: · Øker blodsirkulasjon · Senker puls og blodtrykk · Har positiv innvirkning på skjelett- og muskelplager og kroniske smerter · Har positiv innvirkning på idrettslige prestasjoner og restitusjon · Øker distribusjon av oksygen og næring i kroppen

SASU er en livsstilstjeneste plattform som kobler kunder med tjenesteleverandører innen kategoriene skjønnhet, hår, fitness og helse. SASU er en plattform som gjør det enklere for kunder å komme i kontakt med profesjonelle tjenesteytere innen livsstil. Tjenestene vi fokuserer på er innen fitness, helse, skjønnhetspleie og hår. Med "når du vil, hvor du vil" mener vi at du kan be tjenesteyteren utføre tjenesten på en lokasjon av ditt valg - hjemme, på arbeidsplassen, i parken, på hotellet, osv. Du sender en forespørsel og tjenesteyteren godkjenner. Så enkelt er det! Å ta seg tid til selvpleie/egenpleie i en travel hverdag, kan være utfordrende. Slik bør det ikke være! Tjenesten SASU sitt formål er å gjøre det enklere for deg å prioritere egen velvære og helse. Via SASU kommer du i kontakt med mobile leverandører (“SASU Pro”) som kan møte deg der du er og da slipper du bl.a. upraktiske åpningstider, trafikk-kork og vansker med å finne en parkeringsplass. Våre leverandører (SASU Pro) og kunder er ID-sjekket. Og vi lar både tjenesteytere og kunder skrive anmeldelser og varsle til oss dersom noen har negativ atferd. "Livsstilstjenester der du er" er et nytt konsept som vi tester ut. Vi setter pris om du kan hjelpe oss å videreutvikle både konseptet og nettstedet sasu.no. Du kan gjøre dette ved å fortelle oss om hvordan du opplever nettstedet og hvordan du opplever å være kunde eller leverandør hos oss. Fortell oss gjerne også om vi kan tilby deg andre tjenester via nettstedet. Del gjerne dine tanker på hello@sasu.no.
