Onconetics is a purpose-driven company that develops personalized gene therapies for cancer. We are participants in IndieBio's 6th biotech accelerator program.
"Hi, my name is Luke Gruenert and I am CEO of #Onconetics Pharmaceuticals where we are using gene therapy to treat cancer." Here is a video from our CEO, please watch and feel free to visit our website, https://t.co/rin4TjGjC9, for more information! #genetherapy#cancer#oncology
"Cancer survivorship is not exactly what I thought it would be. It has brought both unexpected hardship and indescribable joy to my life." #CancerSurvivor#CancerAwareness https://t.co/63CjPX4qED
Studies show that women who migrate from areas of low #breastcancer risk to areas of high risk assume the rate in the host country within 1 or 2 generations. This suggests environmental factors are important in development of breast cancer. Find out more: https://t.co/f3vB0Ij60B
"The patient, now a thriving toddler, personifies a growing shift in cancer treatment: the genes fueling the cancer, rather than the type of cancer itself, may determine optimal therapy" Interested about the new possibilities that could stem from this! https://t.co/mRGuzlFpak
“We initially thought that, in working with an artist, we would make art to shed a little light on our science for the public,” Dr. Heller says, “but the collaboration actually taught us something that could help us shine a light on cancer.” https://t.co/ZkUWzZyQwC
#breastcancer and #PancreaticCancer are the 2nd and 12th most common cancers worldwide for both sexes according to @wcrfint (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer). Currently, these two are #onconetics' focus, with bladder, lung and GBM hopefully in the future!
Dr. Basilion is developing a targeted theranostic molecule that can both detect cancer, allowing surgeons to better see and remove tumors and destroy cancer cells that cannot be removed surgically. #NationalNonprofitDay. Meet James Basilion 🎗️ https://t.co/kpJ1QblSw1
"All the researchers involved with the conference argue that it is very important to find ways of using cancer and nutrition research to form better policies and guidelines that will make a real difference to people's lives." Agreed!
A number of recent studies have suggested a link between dietary habits and the development of cancer. Much of this research has been unable to move beyond observing links. Now, specialists suggest a way to move research forward. #CancerResearch#NFCR https://t.co/Lh9fAXLSPD
"This device has the potential to become a point-of-care assessment of patient response to determine whether targeted chemotherapy drugs are working efficiently on individual cancer patients..." Very promising, looking forward to more news and updates!
A novel artificial intelligence and biosensor device has been developed to monitor if live #cancercells remain after #chemotherapy treatment. Click the image below for the full news story:

At this point, a larger question arises: What is a drug, anyway? A therapeutic substance. But does it have to be a molecule in its pure form, like aspirin ? Are "living cells" drugs ? And can we afford them ? Will they drive us bankrupt ? https://t.co/F3lUgkWnVv
