Renovaro and Amsterdam University Medical Center Announce Exclusive Collaboration to Advance Blood Platelet RNA Diagnostics
LOS ANGELES, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Renovaro Inc. (NASDAQ: RENB), a TechBio leader focused on next-generation diagnostics, drug discovery, and genetically enhanced cancer therapies, today agreed on terms for an exclusive collaboration agreement with Amsterdam University Medical Center (“Amsterdam UMC”) to jointly evaluate and develop blood platelet RNA diagnostics. This partnership marks an important step forward in the clinical validation and advancement of a promising new approach to disease detection and monitoring.
The collaboration will focus on assessing the clinical utility of blood platelet RNA signatures as a powerful biomarker source. This effort will leverage the unique Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)/Machine Learning (“ML”) capabilities of Renovaro as well as the newly announced compute resources provided through their agreement with Nebul, to uncover subtle disease-specific signals from blood samples and is aimed at transforming diagnostic and prognostic approaches across multiple cancer types.
Under the terms of the agreement, Renovaro and Amsterdam UMC will work together to refine and improve predictive performance, aiming for a high degree of clinical accuracy. The project will involve collection and analysis of blood samples, data integration from multiple modalities, and the development of sophisticated deep learning models.
“We are excited to partner with Amsterdam UMC, a leader in translational research, to advance this promising technology,” said David Weinstein, CEO of Renovaro. “By combining their clinical expertise with our technological capabilities, we believe we can significantly accelerate the translation of blood platelet RNA diagnostics into clinical practice.”
Both organizations have committed to jointly manage the intellectual property arising from the collaboration and plan to establish a dedicated company in the Netherlands to further develop and commercialize resulting diagnostics.
The initial term of the collaboration is four years, with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement.
