ST. LOUIS, 20 de outubro de 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A MediBeacon Inc. anunciou hoje que iria colaborar com cientistas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Washington em St. Louis num projeto de pesquisa destinado a uma melhor compreensão sobre a má nutrição infantil e os problemas a ela associados, inclusive o crescimento atrofiado. O trabalho é financiado pela Fase II do financiamento para investigação da Grand Challenges Explorations - Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation à Universidade de Washington. É um financiamento de acompanhamento ao trabalho realizado através da Fase I do Prémio Grand Challenges Explorations feito em 2014.

O projeto de pesquisa é liderado pelo Dr. Phillip I. Tarr, Diretor da Divisão de Gastroenterologia Pediátrica, Hepatologia e Nutrição na Faculdade de Medicina do St. Louis Children's Hospital. Em conjunto, Tarr e MediBeacon continuarão a perseguir um projeto de saúde e desenvolvimento global de pesquisa inovadora para monitorizar a permeabilidade do intestino humano.

A Grand Challenges Explorations financia investigadores em todo o mundo para explorar ideias que fogem ao convencional de forma a resolver desafios de saúde e desenvolvimento globais persistentes. Aproximadamente 3% de candidaturas são atribuídas na Fase I, e dessas, aproximadamente a 1 em 10 é atribuído o financiamento na Fase II. A receção do prémio da Fase II representa o sucesso na Fase I e a avaliação da fundação de que o trabalho proposto é uma tecnologia suscetível de promover a saúde da criança.

O Dr. Tarr, que é também Professor de Pediatria da Melvin E. Carnahan e Professor de Microbiologia Molecular na Faculdade de Medicina, disse: "A permeabilidade intestinal anormal é cada vez mais reconhecida como estando associada a uma diversidade de perturbações humanas, incluindo o crescimento atrofiado e desnutrição em crianças de regiões do mundo com pobres recursos. Não existem testes facilmente administráveis e confiáveis para determinar a permeabilidade do intestino, a qual é uma medida importante da função intestinal. Pretendemos utilizar agentes de deteção e tecnologia de fluorescência da MediBeacon para monitorizar a permeabilidade do intestino, sem a necessidade de tirar sangue ou recolher quaisquer espécimes."

A MediBeacon desenvolveu agentes de traçador e métodos de deteção exclusivos para medir a permeabilidade do intestino. O Prof Dr. Richard Dorshow, cofundador e Chief Scientific Officer da MediBeacon's, disse: "Estamos muito satisfeitos de fazer parte de um projeto que tem um potencial considerável para proporcionar um melhor tratamento para as crianças com crescimento atrofiado e desnutrição. Também antecipamos que esta tecnologia permitirá aos médicos otimizar a terapia de pacientes com doença de Crohn, colite ulcerativa e muitos outros processos inflamatórios intestinais."

Os investidores da MediBeacon's incluem a Pansend Life Sciences, LLC, uma subsidiária integral da HC2 Holdings, Inc.
