The Responsible AI Health Fund
“Guiding the Health
Innovation Cycle”
Linearis Ventures, the Responsible AI Health Fund, is an evergreen fund that provides capital and disease signatures in Cancer, AMR and Diabetes to facilitate diagnosis, monitoring treatment and improve drug discovery for our partners. Linearis Labs, its operating entity, is expanding omics testing & discoveries capabilities in North America, Europe and Asia. Linearis is working with leaders in both AI and Metabolomics to generate quantitative and actionable AI-friendly data as part of their AI pipelines. Some recent work involves omics signatures for COVID-19 and cancer.
Finding Diseases Signatures
Linearis Labs couples high throughput technology and Mass Spectrometry to provide metabolomics analysis of blood plasma or serum for diseases including cancer, diabetes and infectious diseases which have significant metabolomics components. Using an AI Pipeline, disease signatures are discovered and can provide staging of several types of metabolomic diseases (cancer, diabetes, infectious diseases), the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions, and the emergence of resistance and side effects of treatments.
Biobank Analysis Services
Linearis labs offers metabolomics profiling services. Services include both targeted and untargeted LC-MS measurements. High throughput procedures are also available to process thousands of samples using laser diode thermal desorption mass spectrometry. The analyses are carried out in a certified environment and are of clinical quality. The data is made available in an AI friendly format for machine learning based analysis. Linearis labs can also perform data analysis with state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms. As metabolomics is closer to the phenotype of interest, it is a great advantage for biobanks to acquire metabolomics data (e.g. UK Biobank). Moreover, there is now an expectation that multiomics analyses will be available for publication and for better interpretation of the diseases under analysis.
To Complete the Health Innovation Cycle
Multi-Omics disease signatures found in Linearis Labs will amplify, along with capital from Linearis Ventures, the innovation cycle of Diagnostics, Treatment Monitoring and AI Drug Discovery Companies.
