EXIT071 – Yuliya Shakalisava

Hi, I’m Yuliya and I have a PhD in analytical chemistry and 15 years of research, management and fundraising experience in Ireland, France and The Netherlands.

I am also the founder of EXIT071 (EXosomes Isolation Tool developed in Leiden) –  an innovative startup developing pioneering technology for the analysis of novel biomarkers: exosomes. Using exosomes makes diagnostics very specific. All cells in our body make exosomes to send messages to other cells. Cells pack these tiny bubbles with their own molecular information and excrete them into all body fluids – blood, urine and even tears!

Exosomes have a huge potential for non-invasive diagnostics and novel therapeutics. At EXIT071 we develop microfluidic technology that allows for the isolation and analysis of exosomes with high purity and in high-throughput, automated format. It will be used in diagnostic applications and in product development of exosome therapeutics.

Imuno – Jan-Jaap Verhoef

At Imuno we combine the power of genetic sequencing and structural modeling to select cancer-specific epitopes – also known as neo-epitopes – on the cancer cell surface of a patient’s tumor. Our discovery platform can rapidly identify neo-epitopes that are truly unique, enabling Imuno to lead the way to design patient-specific immunotherapies.

Panorama Laboratories – Maximillian Green, Jan Zender 

Research & Development standard operating procedures made easy! We use proprietary sensors and AI to automatically check whether individual SOP actions are executed correctly, without requiring any input from the technician.

RespiQ empowers people to take control of their health with validated health guidance they can trust. Their mission is to positively impact the health of millions by providing accurate, non-invasive and affordable technology for early detection of health issues, breath by breath. RespiQ’s handheld device checks your breath for biomarkers that are only present if your digestive system can’t digest a food type. It’s as simple as breathing.

Founded in 2019 by Mira Gleisberg and Vitalii Vorkov, RespiQ is developing proven technology that provides accurate, cost-effective breath testing at home. So far, they have been successfully building their product in very exotic locations. Their lab used to be in an underground garage and even once in a wardrobe!
