Notes to Editors
Curidium Medica
Curidium is a personalized medicine company identifying targeted medicines and
companion diagnostics to treat patients more effectively.
Curidium's initial focus on diseases of the Central Nervous System has resulted
in the identification of a blood diagnostic test, PsychINDxTM, which classifies
patients with schizophrenia/bipolar disorder into four subgroups. PsychINDxTM
may have the potential to improve the treatment of patients with schizophrenia/
bipolar disorder.
Many chronic human diseases are heterogeneous and their patient populations
consist of mixed subgroups. Through the use of its proprietary analysis tool,
Homomatrix®, Curidium aims to reveal different patient subgroups characterized
by distinct underlying disease mechanisms potentially leading to the
identification of:
1. Diagnostics for better identification and treatment within heterogeneous
disease populations.
2. Improved therapies identified through novel drug targets.
3. Personalized medicines using companion diagnostics and targeted treatments.
Curidium aims to continue to use this approach to improve patient treatments in
a variety of therapeutic areas. Further information on Curidium can be found at
