MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 21, 2018 Invenshure portfolio company, OneOme, a healthcare technology company whose genetic test helps predict how a person will respond to hundreds of medications, announced it was named to Fast Company's World's 50 Most Innovative Companies list, as well as the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Biotech for 2018 in the publication's annual issue. OneOme numbered second in the Top 10 in biotech category and 22nd of 50 in the overall list.
This prestigious recognition honors leading enterprises and rising newcomers that exemplify the best in business and innovation. Fast Company recognized OneOme for its RightMed® comprehensive test, a pharmacogenomic test (sometimes called a medication response test) that helps to identify which medications may--or may not--work. Tailoring medication to a patient's DNA may help reduce adverse drug reactions and medication side effects and increase medication effectiveness.
OneOme is one of seven portfolio companies of Minneapolis-based Invenshure. Founded in 2012, Invenshure builds early-stage healthcare companies that solve big problems, such as adverse drug reactions and drug ineffectiveness with OneOme's RightMed pharmacogenomic solution.
"We are delighted by this well-deserved recognition," said Danny Cunagin, Co-CEO of Invenshure. "OneOme's technology innovation, market value, and most importantly, the impact the products have on everyday life, exemplifies the OneOme team and the mission of Invenshure."
