Whatever your future psoriasis research needs – An image study, AI, Digital pathology, data analysis, biomarker analysis, drugs screening – we are here to help you

 

  • Despite relatively high prevalence of psoriasis at 0.4 to 2.8 % in the Indian population and availability of many treatment options, India is behind in psoriasis disease management1.
  • Research done on specific ethnic backgrounds and data from one population is not a global solution. Hence it has been recommended by WHO’s global report on Psoriasis, that Psoriasis research should focus on specific ethnicity and therapeutics that are unique to a specific population 2.
  • There is an increasing demand for crucial studies addressing definitive curative therapies.

 

Hence, well-conducted research specific to Indian population considering the differences in genetic makeup, environmental influences and health care costs could go a long way in improving the healthcare services for the psoriasis patients 3.

Sapien receives DPIIT recognition

Pleased to get the certificate from #DPIIT. Heartfelt thanks to @Saravjeet Chahal who helped resolve the glitches at #StartUp India website due to CIN number mismatch.

Attention all Telangana startups that were formed in combined AP, before formation of Telangana, like #SapienBio, if you are facing persistent problems getting your application completed on #StartupIndia website, it may be due to your CIN number with AP not getting validated by MCA, and AP getting morphed to TG, which then creates other problems. Suggest contacting Saravjeet who will help. The tollfree call numbers did not. Thank you #nitiayog and @Sanjana Mohanty, @Aastha Grover for helping resolve our 8 month long quest for recognition.
