About AllerGenis
Established in 2017 and located in Hatfield, PA, AllerGenis develops
precision, data-driven diagnostics to help healthcare providers more
accurately and safely diagnose, assess, and monitor patients with food
allergies. The company was founded out of a collaboration between
Genisphere, provider of the 3DNA® platform for targeted drug delivery,
and Hugh Sampson MD, of the Elliot and Roslyn Jaffe Food Allergy
Institute of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. AllerGenis’
proprietary epitope mapping technology is based on immunological
research by Dr. Sampson and leverages Genisphere’s expertise in
improving sensitivity of diagnostic tests. AllerGenis is creating the
largest food allergy knowledge base populated by individual patient
epitope signatures derived from epitope mapping, clinical history, and
patient-reported outcomes to gain clinical insights.
