Dr. Marks was also honored by UPMC and his medical partners at Oncology Hematology Association (OHA) through the establishment of the Stanley M. Marks – OHA Endowed Chair in Hematology/Oncology Leadership. With a remarkable career in cancer research, Dr. Marks has held key leadership roles such as President of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and has been a member of the board of directors of the American Cancer Society, among others. Recognized as one of the "Best Cancer Doctors in America," Dr. Marks is a highly respected clinician and a passionate advocate for patients. His impact is evident through the establishment of the Dr. Stanley Marks Research Endowed fund at the Hillman Cancer Center, which has raised an impressive $18 million for cancer research to date.
"I am excited to become a member of the board of directors at PredxBio, a company with immense potential to revolutionize biomarker discovery and clinical research through its advanced spatial biology analytics," commented Dr. Marks. "PredxBio's cutting-edge solutions offer scientists in the biopharma and health systems the ability to gain comprehensive and deep insights into the organization and interactions of cells within the tissue microenvironment. PredxBio's promising results in understanding of disease progression and treatment response to immunotherapy demonstrate the transformative power of this technology."
Welcoming Dr. Marks to PredxBio's board of directors, D. Lansing Taylor, PhD, Chairman of the Board at PredxBio and Director at the University of Pittsburgh Drug Discovery Institute (UPDDI), remarked, "Dr. Mark's deep experience in oncology and his leadership will be invaluable to PredxBio as we grow our business and pursue our mission to leverage the power of spatial biology with Explainable AI and unbiased spatial analytics in delivering innovative therapies that will positively impact the lives of patients."
The PredxBio platform seamlessly integrates multimodal data, such as spatial proteomics, spatial transcriptomics, and brightfield pathology, to uncover the hidden circuitries of tumor microenvironments and reveal the complex network biology of cancer. By performing highly scalable, Explainable AI (xAI) powered spatial analyses of diverse imaging techniques, PredxBio generates actionable insights for biomarker discovery, identifying drug targets, and designing effective clinical trials. Through the quantification of cell-cell interactions, identification of intermediate cell types and states, and discovery of microdomains, PredxBio delves into the organizing principles of spatial intratumor heterogeneity, providing a mechanistic understanding of tumor initiation, progression, and response to therapy. This comprehensive platform drives personalized therapeutic options, improving prediction accuracies based on spatial tumor biology and enabling optimal treatment selection for individual patients. With the launch of the PredxBio platform, we established our leadership position in Spatial Biology, uniquely capable of predicting patient outcomes with 90%+ accuracy by unraveling the hidden biological circuitries of cancer.
