Collaborations and Studies

Collaborations
To validate the impact of VeraTag® assays on research and development of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic products as well as to demonstrate their potential for individualized therapeutic selection, Monogram has established agreements with leading companies and collaborations with thought leaders and biomedical research institutes.

In addition, Monogram has strong ties to prestigious medical research centers and renowned cancer organizations exploring the use of the VeraTag System in clinical trials of approved and investigational targeted therapeutics in North America, Europe and Japan. Our goals are to develop intellectual property, support publications in peer-reviewed journals, and provide validating clinical data to support regulatory approvals.

We collaborate with leading research groups, including the following:
  • Jules Bordet Institute, Belgium
  • Yale University
  • Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
  • Mayo Clinic- Rochester, Minnesota
  • Mayo Clinic- Jacksonville, Florida
  • Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
  • M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
  • Stanford University
  • University of Southern California/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center
  • Vanderbilt University
  • Cedars-Sinai Medical Center/Louis Warschaw Prostate Cancer Center
  • Princess Margaret Hospital, Canada
  • Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science (Rinshoken), Japan
  • Aichi Cancer Center, Japan
  • Vall D'Hebron University Hospital, Spain
  • Osepdale Bellaria, Italy
  • Humanitas Instituto Clinico, Italy
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
  • National Cancer Center Hospital, Japan
  • University Hospital Gasthuisberg, Belgium
  • Southwest Oncology Group
  • Johns Hopkins University
  • University of Colorado Cancer Center
  • Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
