“The New Chemotherapy”: Duo Oncology Introduces First Innovative Cancer-Fighting Nanomedicine in Over a Decade

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business, chemistry

Fortunately, the past decade has experienced a boom, with over 200 startups bringing novel cancer therapies—primarily antibodies, viruses, or cells—into clinical trials aiming to find alternatives to toxic chemotherapy. Despite these innovations, chemotherapy remains an essential yet toxic part of cancer care. In Pittsburgh, a small team of scientist-entrepreneurs and oncologists started meeting every Friday morning before work, collaborating to search for a new chemistry, one that could replace toxic chemotherapies. Their search soon focused on compelling research about novel ultra-small nanomedicine chemistry that carried potent drugs deep into solid tumors while sparing healthy organs.

This new nanomedicine chemistry fascinated Dr. Sam Rothstein, a scientist-entrepreneur with 20+ years of nanomedicine research experience spanning academia and industry. “We could make a real positive impact on patients,” says Rothstein. “We know that nanomedicines, which keep potent therapies out of healthy organs, improve quality of life. But this novel ultrasmall chemistry could go even further, saving lives by reaching remote cancer cells that current therapies can’t touch.”

Dr. Rothstein set to work building a new company, calling on connections made over a 10+-year career as a life science startup CEO and CSO, where he founded and grew two nanomedicine startups from academic discoveries. After months of market, regulatory, and business research, Duo Oncology was born.

Transforming Contract Management In Banking And Enterprises With Generative AI

Posted by in categories: business, finance, law, robotics/AI, sustainability

At Impactsure Technologies, we’ve helped clients of banks generate guarantees and contracts through preapproved clauses in a matter of a few seconds without the need to go through a complex process of vetting that would have otherwise taken many days. It not only enhances the customer experience but also makes it easier to manage the processes efficiently. The clients are able to manage their contracts well, manage the content, ensure appropriate vetting and scrutiny are done effectively, manage the timelines, and incorporate the electronic signing options in a seamless way.

As contract management complexities continue to increase in the banking and enterprise sectors, the adoption of GenAI emerges as strategically crucial for organizations seeking to enhance operational efficiency, mitigate risks and maintain regulatory compliance. By harnessing the power of AI-driven automation, banks and enterprises can streamline contract processes, optimize resource utilization and confidently navigate the complicated legal landscape.

A combination of GenAI, NLP and ML represents a paradigm shift in contract management, empowering banks and enterprises to easily manage the complexities of the modern business environment with agility and resilience. By embracing AI-driven solutions, organizations can unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation and sustainable success in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving environment.

Breakthrough from REMspace: First Ever Communication Between People in Dreams

Posted by in categories: business, neuroscience

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—()—Researchers at REMspace, a California-based startup, have achieved a historic milestone, demonstrating that lucid dreams could unlock new dimensions of communication and humanity’s potential. Using specially designed equipment, two individuals successfully induced lucid dreams and exchanged a simple message.

Watch the experiment here.

Lucid dreams occur when a person is aware they are dreaming while still in the dream state. This phenomenon happens during REM sleep and has numerous potential applications, from solving physiological problems to learning new skills. In earlier research, REMspace demonstrated that facial electromyography sensors could decode specific sounds made in dreams. This led to the development of Remmyo, a dream language detectable through sensitive sensors.

AI Researcher Slams OpenAI, Warns It Will Become the “Most Orwellian Company of All Time”

Posted by in categories: business, existential risks, robotics/AI

In the last few months, the mask has really come off.


OpenAI is far from its days of being an altruistic, non-profit company.

It is now the face of a booming AI industry and is effectively for-profit in all but name, steaming ahead with little regard for its technology’s environmental toll, or for the potentially existential risks it poses to society.
