BioSciCon, Inc.
  • BioSciCon has developed and manufactures
    patented biomarker-based MarkPap technology
    products intended for early detection of cervical
    cancer. This technology is more accurate, less
    costly and less invasive than current Pap test
    technologies.

Cervical Cancer is preventable
  • Cervical cancer is second to the breast cancer
    cause of women deaths from malignant diseases
    world-wide. Currently, there are 500,000 new
    cases of cervical cancer each year, and about
    250,000 die from this preventable disease in 21st
    Century. However, cervical cancer is preventable
    IF detected on time. Best prevention is regular
    cervical cancer screening. Cytological screening
    (Pap test) remains the best cervical cancer
    prevention.

WORLD
  • Problem
  • At risk 1.7 B
  • Protected with Pap 110 M or 6.5
  • Developing countries 20 M Pap tests or 1.2
  • Other technologies
  • Screen treat
  • VIA
  • HPV
  • Vaccination

5
The Problem
  • Existing Pap Test Technology
  • Costly Increasing insurance costs in US and
    prohibitively expensive in developing countries
  • Infrastructure required, with qualified
    professionals (cytotechnologists/pathologists)
  • Insufficient Reliability (gt15 false negatives)
  • Slow Takes weeks to obtain normal results
  • Requires visiting a doctor and it is invasive,
    which leads to fewer women being tested

6
The Solution
  • MarkPap Test is the solution
  • Less costly Priced gt25 less than Pap test
  • MarkPap Self and MarkPap Digital make the
    infrastructure affordable for developing
    countries
  • More reliable lt5 false negatives
  • Less Invasive MarkPap Self, leading to increased
    use by all women
  • Timely Results within hours (MarkPap Digital)
  • Better controlled QC/QA with control slides and
    less liability for the laboratory

MarkPap Technology
  • CAP-PAP Test (US patent, 2000)
  • CAP-PAP Kit
  • (US patent pending)
  • International
  • (PCT, 2004)
  • Trademark MarkPap
  • Know-how

Chemical sensitive biomarker flags abnormal
cells for early detection.

MarkPap Products (first line of products)
  • MarkPap Research Kit Assembly of reagents,
    instructions and controls.
  • Kit Accessories Cytopreservative solution,
    Control slides.
  • MarkPap Test service, assay.

MarkPap Self

MarkPap Self
  • MarkPap Self is an option for women to take the
    sample in the privacy of their home and to send
    it in the laboratory. MarkPap Self is aimed for
    women who live in remote parts and do not have
    access to doctors offices, for those who (because
    of different cultural and religious tradition)
    cannot go to gynecologist, or women who are
    simply not comfortable with pelvic exam and
    prefer to take the sample at home. MarkPap Self
    will dramatically increase the number of women
    who will get preventive testing.

15
MarkPap Digital
16
MarkPap Digital
  • MarkPap Digital provides a possibility to
    process the sample in a small laboratory/doctor
    office, capture the red biomarker positive
    (abnormal) cells with a digital camera and
    transmit images via Internet into laboratories
    with qualified reviewers for evaluation. The
    result may be available within hours. The cost of
    the image acquisition system consisting of a
    microscope, digital camera and software is below
    5,000.

17
MarkPap Self Digital
  • In practice, MarkPap Self and MarkPap Digital
    allow women to take the sample at home and to
    mail it to the nearby laboratory. In this
    laboratory a low-trained technician or nurse can
    stain the slide using easy-to-use MarkPap Kit.
    The same person examines the slide under the
    microscope and searches for red cells. The
    images of those cells are captured with a digital
    camera and transmitted for evaluation. The result
    may be sent back electronically within hours.
    This is how MarkPap technology can provide
    cytological mass cervical screening worldwide and
    save womens lives.

18
Overall Competitive Advantages
  • Novel biomarker of abnormality
  • Simple and immediately applicable
  • Better accuracy for lower cost
  • Better productivity for less liability
  • Prospect for self-sampling and
    telecytopathology for mass cervical cancer
    screening worldwide
  • Huge societal benefit saving womens lives with
    enormous market and incredible potential for
    profit

19
BioSciCon, Inc.
  • BioSciCon is a small business, women owned,
    start-up S-corporation, which has completed the
    RD phase for the first line products, and has
    entered a new development phase for the next line
    of products. The company is now searching for
    commercial funding to bring products to market.
