| The Utrecht start-up Prolira is a spin-off of UMC Utrecht. At the hospital they discovered that it was possible to diagnose a delirium within one-and-a-half minutes using an EEG (brain scan) with only three electrodes. That is much faster and easier than with the usual method. |

| A significant portion of the potential anticancer medicines that reach the clinical phase do not make it to registration. This is a loss for patients, developers and society as a whole. Oncode-PACT aims to efficiently select the best medicine candidates in the preclinical phase, decreasing the risk and cost of failure and, ultimately, bringing anticancer medicines to the patient faster. |
