Biosortia Microbiomics to Present at Biotech Showcase™ 2023
Biosortia’s proven technology obtains nature’s previously inaccessible drug-like small molecules for treatments and cures
January 6, 2023.
DUBLIN, Ohio – January 10, 2023 – Biosortia Microbiomics, the small molecule drug discovery platform and the only company practicing microbiome mining announced that it is presenting at Biotech Showcase™ 2023, taking place on January 9-11 in San Francisco, CA. This year, registered attendees can view Biosortia Microbiomics’ presentation live, and with 24/7 on-demand access, attendees can also view recorded presentations at their convenience when scheduling does not allow viewing during the main event week.
Ross Youngs, CEO, and Founder of Biosortia Microbiomics will be presenting on January 10 at 10:00 am PT at Franciscan A (ballroom level) at the event. In his session, Ross will explore the current problems with drug costs and drug discovery and educate the audience about industrial-scale microbiome mining and how it fits into the solution.
Ross will discuss how in just the past ten years, new drug costs have increased by 300% with minimal progress in finding new cures or treatments. And although small molecules are 90% of drugs on the shelf, the most sought-after drug-like small molecules can’t be obtained by indirect methods. Ross will also share how Biosortia’s technology, which is backed by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, ARPA-E, DARPA and NIH are proven for obtaining nature’s drug-like small molecules, which were previously inaccessible, for treatments and cures.
“The capabilities and potential impact of Biosortia’s technology on the drug discovery industry is what motivates me and my team,” says Youngs. “We’ve received incredible support through funding from major organizations that allowed us to prove the effectiveness of our technology. The next step for us is to continue raising funds in order to put the technology to work and collaborate with researchers and academia to accelerate discovery in critical life science areas.”
