Predicine and Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany to Present Data at AACR – Advances in Liquid Biopsy Conference 2020


We are very delighted to work with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a precision medicine driven company. We have a shared vision of the critical role of liquid biopsy in revolutionizing personalized cancer treatments and clinical drug development.

Predicine, a molecular insights company headquartered in Hayward, California, with global footprints in China, today announced results from a collaborative biomarker study with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading science and technology company operating its biopharmaceuticals business in the U.S. and Canada as EMD Serono, will be jointly presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) – Advances in Liquid Biopsies Conference, taking place from January 13 to 16, 2020 in Miami, Florida. The study explores the potential clinical utility of Predicine’s proprietary liquid biopsy platforms for detection of genetic alterations using plasma-derived circulated tumor DNA (ctDNA) and cell-free RNA (cfRNA) in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC).

Highlights of this study include:


  • The clinical feasibility of simultaneous multiparametric profiling using a combined cfDNA and cfRNA liquid biopsy approach for molecular characterization in advanced CRC.
  • cfRNA-derived variant detection confirms the variants originally detected in cfDNA test and validates the high specificity results for report interpretation.
  • cfDNA-based detection of tumor mutation burden (TMB).

Data to be presented also support the role of clinical implementation of a combined cfDNA and cfRNA test that could provide holistic molecular insight for detecting cancer driver mutations, monitoring efficacy/disease burden, as well as identifying sub-clonal alterations that may be relevant to drug resistance and tumor heterogeneity.

“We are very delighted to work with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a precision medicine driven company. We have a shared vision of the critical role of liquid biopsy in revolutionizing personalized cancer treatments and clinical drug development,” said Dr. Shidong Jia, Founder and CEO at Predicine. “Predicine’s next-generation sequencing-based comprehensive non-invasive liquid biopsy platform adds value by enabling biomarker-driven patient selection & enrollment, longitudinal disease monitoring and exploring the new paradigm for both targeted and combination therapies.”

Piada Expands Menu to Include Keto, Paleo and High-Protein Options, Making it More Inclusive for all Guests


Keto BLT Salad

“These new additions to the menu make Piada more accessible to all Guests,” said Chris Doody, Piada founder.

Piada Italian Street Food welcomes everyone to its table with the debut of its new lifestyle menu items, including keto, paleo and high-protein options, which guests can order online only starting today at mypiada.com/order.

“These new additions to the menu make Piada more accessible to all Guests,” said Chris Doody, Piada founder. “Whether Guests have a restricted diet for health reasons or are just trying to establish different eating habits at the start of the new year, these new dishes open up the menu for everyone to enjoy something at Piada.”

By offering these new menu items online only for in-store pickup, Piada’s culinary team can ensure precise measuring and preparation of the food. This allows for accuracy in every dish, giving Guests exactly what they want.

The new lifestyle items include:

  • Keto BLT Salad – Roasted bruschetta tomatoes, whole milk mozzarella and four pieces of crispy pancetta crumbled onto a bed of chopped romaine, tossed in Piada’s signature house-made creamy parmesan dressing.
  • Paleo Berry Balsamic Salad – Creamy avocado and fresh sliced strawberries mixed with red cabbage and spinach tossed in their new berry balsamic dressing.
  • Protein Bowl – Piada’s all-natural white meat chicken is topped with whole milk mozzarella, house-made basil pesto and roasted bruschetta tomatoes, served aside roasted broccoli and sautéed zucchini and mushrooms. It’s packed with 50 grams of protein in each bowl!

Piada fans with restricted diets or specific dietary preferences understand and appreciate the importance of measuring and handling ingredients carefully when preparing paleo and keto dishes. To ensure the accuracy and safety of these new dishes, Piada works with MenuTrinfo®, a nationally recognized allergen and gluten-free company, to train their staff.

“Over the last few years, we took a step back from our growth agenda to refocus on our core values and getting it right for our Guests,” said Doody. “Maintaining the quality of our core menu items like our Piadas and signature pasta dishes will always be a priority, but we are constantly looking for ways to tweak and improve our menu so that all feel welcome.”

Later this month, Piada will introduce a revamped version of their gluten-free, vegetarian/vegan Power Bowl featuring roasted vegetables, avocado and pickled onions over a bed of warm quinoa.

Throughout the year, Piada plans to introduce additional items to its menu to fit a variety of lifestyles, so Guests should keep their eyes peeled for what’s coming next!

About Piada

The restaurant’s premium fast-casual concept, which offers Guests an array of healthy (and indulgent) options from a selection of more than 30 toppings, is centered around the Piada. Piadas are made up of a thin-crust dough, which is freshly baked on a stone grill and filled with a selection of Italian-inspired ingredients, then hand-rolled to perfection. Other signature menu items include Piada’s salads made with fresh ingredients and craveable pasta dishes made with their house-made sauces.

As a chef-driven concept, Piada’s food is cooked under classic culinary standards and emphasizes using ingredients that are fresh and of the highest quality. Recipes are inspired by traditional, simple Italian cooking techniques and highlight flavors like basil, rosemary and San Marzano tomatoes.

Piada was inspired by the roadside family-run street food carts and markets found in Rimini, Italy, and the company’s first restaurant opened in 2010. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Piada has 40 locations throughout Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Texas.

The New England Center for Children Hosts Legislators’ Day to Raise Awareness of Private Special Education Schools


Vincent Strully, President and CEO of The New England Center for Children, with Massachusetts State Representatives Kate Hogan (D-3rd Middlesex District)

“All of us at NECC are honored to host these Massachusetts state legislators,” said Vincent Strully, President and CEO of NECC. “With the State’s support and the work of dedicated teachers and parents throughout Massachusetts, all of us can help transform the lives of children with special needs.”

The New England Center for Children® (NECC®), a global leader in education and research for children with autism, announced today a successful Legislators’ Day on Dec. 13 in which six Massachusetts State Representatives visited NECC to learn about the unique needs of private special education schools, also known as Chapter 766 schools.

Attending the Legislators’ Day were State Representatives Kate Hogan (D-3rd Middlesex District), Carmine Gentile (D-13th Middlesex District), Hannah Kane (R-11th Worcester District), David Muradian, Jr. (R-9th Worcester District), Legislative Aide Ben Kaplan for Representative Carolyn Dykema (D-8th Middlesex), and Legislative Aide Danillo Sena for Senator James Eldridge (D-Middlesex and Worcester Districts).

The Representatives observed NECC’s transformative teaching, research and technology for children with autism. They received a tour, met with administrators, teachers and students, and learned about the funding issues of special needs schools from Elizabeth Becker, Executive Director of The Massachusetts Association of Chapter 766 Approved Private Schools (MAAPS).

Chapter 766 schools (referring to the Massachusetts law that guarantees the educational rights of children with special needs) are private special education schools for children whose educational needs are beyond what can be offered in their local public schools. Funding is provided by the State.

“It was important to me as a lawmaker to meet with New England Center for Children (NECC) students, faculty, and staff at their Legislators’ Day and experience first-hand the inclusive learning environment they provide for students right here in our community,” said Representative Kate Hogan (D-Stow). “NECC is a steward of the Commonwealth’s commitment to reaching each and every student with educational excellence – working with passion and expertise to break down barriers to opportunity for exceptional learners and students living with autism.”

“All of us at NECC are honored to host these Massachusetts state legislators. Special education and Chapter 766 schools must remain a priority for Massachusetts,” said Vincent Strully, President and CEO of NECC. “With the State’s support and the work of dedicated teachers and parents throughout Massachusetts, all of us can help transform the lives of children with special needs.”

“It is always special to have Massachusetts state legislators take the time to visit our member schools,” said Elizabeth Becker, Executive Director of The Massachusetts Association of Chapter 766 Approved Private Schools (MAAPS). “Meeting students and speaking with a few of the hundreds of employees about their experience at The New England Center for Children was incredibly meaningful. NECC has not only changed thousands of lives, it has changed the entire field of education around autism spectrum disorder. Massachusetts is lucky to be the founding site for this special school.”

The legislators also learned about NECC’s graduate-level teacher training program, which educates tomorrow’s teachers in best practices that will benefit students in Massachusetts classrooms and beyond. NECC also partners with public schools in Massachusetts to provide classrooms that apply behavioral principles that mirror the structure and support often found only in private school settings. NECC consultants work with public schools to design effective solutions to improve student progress and increase independence.

About The New England Center for Children
