Mission
AMPEL BioSolutions was founded to bring personalized precision medicine to patients, especially those with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
Our Why
Autoimmune and inflammatory disease patients are not receiving the precise, personalized evaluation and treatment that they deserve. The immune system of autoimmune patients is complex, dynamic and not accurately assessed by current technologies.
The AMPEL team brings their expertise in basic and translational research, clinical trial design, and bioinformatics together in a new way to develop scalable systems using AI and deep machine learning to improve patient outcomes. To give patients and their doctors the tools and information necessary to make decisions based on that individual’s genomic profile — what we term their Genomic Fingerprint.
In 2023, AMPEL expects to commercialize its first product, LuGENE®, a CLIA-certified blood test for patients/physicians that assesses disease state/flares and drug options. AMPEL’s technology covers >95% of all known genes and is disease agnostic so there is capacity to expand reporting of results into new disease indications without developing a new test. AMPEL’s exclusive curated database of >15,000+ autoimmune patient gene expression profiles and 5,000+ healthy individuals with rich clinical information is the world’s largest and fuels machine learning predictions based on evidence.
