Biognosys Supports Cancer Scout, a Large-Scale Multi-Omics Research Project to Accelerate Personalized Cancer Medicine
12.10.2021 09:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Biognosys, a leader in next-generation proteomics solutions for drug discovery and development, announces today that it is supporting Cancer Scout as Proteomics provider.
Cancer Scout is a large-scale joint research project led by University Medical Center Göttingen and Siemens Healthineers. The project received funding of EUR 10 million by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) 1.
The objective of Cancer Scout is to provide a new Artificial Intelligence tool for precision medicine in the fight against cancer. The research project will analyze and combine genomics, proteomics, and pathology data through Artificial Intelligence to generate a "digital biopsy" of molecular changes in tumors. Identifying these molecular changes can support early and accurate cancer diagnosis and predict personalized therapies for a patient’s tumor.
Oliver Rinner, PhD, CEO and founder of Biognosys states: “We are excited to be part of this visionary multi-omics research project and contribute to the development of more personalized clinical diagnostics and therapies for cancer with our proteomics solutions.”
Biognosys was selected as the provider for the Proteomics data analysis in Cancer Scout, based on its unique technologies and workflows for large-scale proteomics, comprehensive quality standards for clinical research, and extensive expertise in precision oncology.
Biognosys’ discovery proteomics platform utilizes proprietary, patented Hyper Reaction Monitoring (HRM™) mass spectrometry technology to quantify complete proteomes with unmatched precision, depth, and reproducibility. This solution can be applied with high throughput in large-scale studies involving thousands of samples from a broad range of clinical sample types.
Professor Philipp Ströbel, Director of Pathology at the University Hospital Göttingen, comments: “Combining digital pathology with proteomics and other omics data is essential to identify the full spectrum of molecular changes in tumors and enable truly personalized cancer care.”
Christian Wolfrum, Head of New Business Development and Planning at Siemens Healthineers, adds: “We are excited to work with Biognosys to generate novel scientific insights in Cancer Scout and translate these into personalized cancer care solutions for clinical practice.”

National Bank of Greece in Cyprus Goes Live With Smartstream’s Air to Consolidate Reconciliations27.5.2026 10:55:00 EEST | Press release
Smartstream, the trusted data solutions provider for leading global financial institutions and enterprises, today announces that the National Bank of Greece (NBG) in Cyprus has successfully gone live with Air, the company’s AI-enabled reconciliation solution. The go-live marks a significant step forward in the bank’s operational efficiency, reducing daily manual processing effort and eliminating the complexity of working across multiple data formats. The bank has deployed Air’s Cash module, replacing both incumbent and consolidating four separate reconciliation systems for Instant, Cash, SEPA, and Nostro reconciliations, into a single, intelligent platform. Although transaction volumes were manageable, the fragmented landscape required significant daily manual effort to handle items individually across each system and to navigate multiple data formats. Following a market review, the bank committed to Smartstream’s Air, with self service model and AI-enabled automation being a distinct
Duco Launches the First Agentic Operations Platform for Financial Services27.5.2026 10:20:00 EEST | Press release
Duco, today launched the first agentic Operations platform for financial services. Built on the engine that already processes 20 billion transactions every month for more than 200 clients, including seven of the top 20 banks and ten of the top 20 asset managers, the platform brings together everything firms need to run post-trade Operations alongside autonomous agents, safely and at scale. The launch establishes a breakthrough the industry has been waiting for. A tool surface, purpose-built for agents.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) gives capabilities covering reconciliation, data preparation, data access, audit trails, exception management, document creation and more. For the first time, agents have a verified, deterministic toolset built specifically for post-trade. Agents do not replace matching, rules or audit; they use them. P
Brenus Pharma Announces FDA Acceptance of IND Application for STC-1010 (BreAK-CRC001) in MSS Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)27.5.2026 09:49:00 EEST | Press release
Brenus Pharma, a clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel in vivo immunotherapies for solid tumors, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accept the company's Investigational New Drug (IND) application for its first drug candidate, STC-1010, in microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). STC-1010 is designed to address a critical unmet need worldwide. Approximately 95% of mCRC patients have MSS tumors, which demonstrate minimal response to standard immunotherapies. The FDA validated Brenus Pharma's advanced regulatory and manufacturing capabilities. This operational readiness will accelerate patient access and data generation across both European and US sites for a Phase II program planned for 2027. "FDA's acceptance of our IND represents a major validation of our program and enables the full execution of our clinical strategy across Europe and the United States.
