Using proteomics and AI tools, AP3 measures the activity of myriad proteins and signaling pathways inside tumor cells in their native state, rather than just analyzing DNA mutationsglobenewswire.comglobenewswire.com. This allows Acrivon to create drug-specific “OncoSignature” tests – essentially companion diagnostics that predict whether a patient’s tumor is susceptible to a given drugstockanalysis.comstockanalysis.com.
