New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$90.2m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-US$49m). Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$25m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change).

At booth #719, Akoya Biosciences will highlight its new PhenoCycler-Fusion 2.0 and PhenoImager HT 2.0 platforms, which offer significant advancements in speed and scale for spatial biology research. PhenoCycler-Fusion 2.0: Features multi-slide automation, enabling researchers to generate ultrahigh-plex spatial phenotyping data for larger and more complex samples at unprecedented speed. PhenoImager HT 2.0: Features onboard spectral unmixing, which accelerates biomarker development and validation workflows. Ultrahigh-plex Spatial Phenotyping Reveals Markers Associated with Response to Immunotherapy Among the posters being presented at SITC is one describing the spatial tumor microenvironment landscapes of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) tissues from patients over the course of immunotherapy treatment. An ultrahigh-plex antibody panel encompassing cell lineages, activation states, immune checkpoints, structural and metabolic markers was deployed on the PhenoCycler-Fusion platform for analysis of the tissue microenvironment. Cellular phenotypes, spatial neighborhoods and functional states driving tumor pathogenesis and response to immunotherapy were identified. The poster will be presented by Arutha Kulasinghe, Ph.D., leader of the Clinical-oMx Group at the Frazer Institute of the University of Queensland, Australia, and founding scientific director of the Queensland Spatial Biology Centre. Expanding Global Network of Contract Research Organizations (CROs) Providing Spatial Phenotyping Solutions Fourteen of Akoya’s eighteen qualified CRO service providers will also be exhibiting at SITC. Akoya’s CRO network continues to grow rapidly, reflecting the demand for spatial phenotyping solutions across the biopharmaceutical industry.

Akoya Biosciences, Inc. to Present First-of-its-Kind Spatial Multiomics Dataset at 2023 AGBT General Meeting Akoya Biosciences, Inc. will present results from a novel same-section, spatial multiomic study at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) Annual Meeting being held in Hollywood, Florida from February 6-9, 2023. Leveraging the high-speed imaging platform, PhenoCycler®-Fusion, company scientists to showcase how imaging both RNA and protein biomarkers simultaneously, in a single tissue section, can give a more complete picture of tumor biology. Protein and RNA biomarkers play complementary roles in defining cell phenotypes and cell states, respectively, in a tissue sample. Proteins are the key effectors of cell function and detecting cell surface protein markers can serve as a ground truth for cell identity. RNA markers such as cytokines and chemokines can provide an insight into signaling pathways that result in changes in cell states, arising from interactions within the tumor microenvironment. Measuring both analytes within the same tissue can give researchers an accurate picture of tumor progression and response to therapy. First unveiled at the AGBT Annual Meeting in 2022, the company’s RNA chemistry was combined with the company’s industry-leading proteomics offering in a novel multiomic study featuring 46 samples, 23 tissue types and simultaneous detection of RNA and protein biomarkers from each section. The ability to scale the chemistry across multiple samples and a diversity of tissue types is a key requirement for discovering robust biomarker signatures. The study was conducted on the PhenoCycler-Fusion System which enables rapid imaging of whole slides at single-cell resolution. In addition to the speed of imaging, the system has a proprietary file compression algorithm that can reduce file sizes from terabytes to gigabytes. This powerful combination makes it easier for researchers to scale up their studies with higher weekly throughput, while reducing data storage costs. Ankündigung • Jan 09
