Stella Diagnostics also received an invitation to deliver a podium presentation about the company at the event to be held virtually on October 13-15, 2020.

The Buzz of BIO contest provides an excellent opportunity for companies to share their technology and commercial offerings. According to the BIO website, “…the BIO Investor Forum has become the premier event where biotech innovators can find strategic partners to advance their company to the next stage in their business life cycle.” The contest helps to identify U.S.-based companies with breakthrough, early stage technologies that have the potential to improve the lives of patients and yield an advantage in healthcare economics.

Joe Abdo, Co-founder and CEO of Stella Diagnostics said, “On behalf of the entire Stella team, we would like to thank BIO for nominating Stella as well as everyone who voted for Stella during the Buzz of BIO open voting competition.

The technology was developed via rigorous research by domain experts and practicing physicians. We are looking forward to demonstrating to the BIO Investor Forum attendees how our discovery and algorithm can be incorporated into routine clinical sequences and concurrently yield critical diagnostic data in concert with standard of care screening protocols. This would allow the physicians and patients to make more informed decisions and achieve better outcomes.”

About Stella Diagnostics

Stella Diagnostics, Inc. is a molecular diagnostics-based organization focused on improving patient management strategies for over 67 million people living with severe esophageal disease. StellaDX’s mass spec proteomic assay will offer physicians insight into the molecular properties of their patients’ tissue to determine if the disease is stable, progressing or turning cancerous. Using targeted mass spectrometry proteomics, we believe that informing physicians of the expression patterns playing a role in the pathogenesis of GERD, Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer early in the treatment plan may extend or save lives.
