Compandia CEO, Andy Sutton announced, “We are thrilled that Dave has joined Compandia and will bring significant experience from his years at GSK, Millenium, Pharmorphix and AZ.

Compandia claims that it’s advantage is the ability to find small biomarker panels from data that would otherwise be impossible to decipher this enables disease states to be accurately diagnosed from a small number of analytes.

Compandia in addition offers proteomic services coupled to its “Biomarker Distiller” for the discovery of proteomic biomarker panels.

Compandia also announced the launch of a new bioinformatics capability, its “Pathways Distiller” bioinformatics tool that creates maps of interacting gene pathways which define patient populations such as drug responders from non responders.
