Enrich Therapeutics Inc. a biotech company focusing on unique microfluidics-free cell discovery and isolation technology, announced today that the company had been awarded a 12-month Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) research contract from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), for further development of this critical application on cell/tissue sample processing with its proprietary cell isolation technology. This project will be performed in collaboration with Dr. Kien Pham’s team from Yale Pathology Dept.
Single cell multimodal omics (scMulti-omics) technologies by integrating different readouts, such as DNA, RNA and protein expression, can provide greater value than the sum of the parts making these technologies powerful to characterize the cell in-depth. Isolation of unique cell populations, and simultaneous and selective extraction of different macromolecules can enable further experimental analyses to answer critical questions in basic science and clinical research and empower observational and therapeutic studies. By 2025, the global scMulti-omics market is anticipated to be $5.32 billion, mainly driven by the increasing need for noninvasive or minimally invasive diagnosis and personalized medicine.
Recent advances have significantly improved multi-omic analysis; however, the sample processing technologies for tumors, in particular solid tumors for multi-omic analysis, are lagging behind. The existing technologies are associated with low throughput, high cost, and sub-optimal processing affecting data quality, which hampers their widespread use in biology and ultimately in medicine. There is a need for robust sample processing technologies that are compatible with downstream analysis and can be easily integrated into the preanalytical workflow.
With this financial support from NCI, Enrich expects to provide a robust sample processing platform that could easily integrate with scMulti-omic analysis and allow a better understanding of heterogeneity in solid tumors and the microenvironment, and also enable the analysis of rare and low-abundant cells such as circulating tumor cells and antigen-presenting cells, to potentially open the door to new biomarker and therapeutic targets discoveries in cancer. development of technologies to improve single-cell multi-omic preanalytical microfluidic platforms that integrate steps of the preanalytical workflow such as sample processing, single-cell separation or isolation and enrichment, technologies for solid tumor dissociation/isolation, enrichment and tracking of cancer cells and/or biomolecules for scMulti-omics.

Enrich Therapeutics Inc., a device and application company focusing on unique single cell isolation technology, announced today that the company has been awarded a 24-month Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) phase II grant in the amount of $1.7 million from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), for further development of its proprietary single cell isolation platform.
Characterizing both functional and genetic heterogeneity among a pool of cells remains a major scientific challenge in immunology, cancer research, neurobiology, and developmental biology. Isolating cells with the same phenotype is the key to understanding such heterogeneity. Enrich proprietary technology targets the huge cell isolation market valued at more than $6B in 2020, and can be used to select and isolate cells based on organelle translocation, chromatin morphology, phagocytosis, synapse formation, protein co-localization, cell-cell interactions and other time-resolved cellular behaviors which cannot be achieved by current sorting platforms in a high-throughput manner.
During SBIR phase I of this project, which the grant was awarded within 10 months since the inception of Enrich Therapeutics, the company has established a unique, non-fluidic, technology to address the aforementioned unmet needs. The Enrich team completed the alpha version of prototype design and demonstrated its utility in critical POC applications, such as blood cell removal, phage enrichment on single beads, and isolation of tumor-killing immune cell clones. All phase I milestones were fully accomplished with convincing results, and the new award is intended to facilitate the translation of this promising technology to a commercial product and ultimately provide beneficial life science innovation to global biomedical researchers.
This new grant follows the company’s successful Phase I findings and will support the ongoing work of platform optimization and product development. Enrich team is tirelessly continuing the effort to bring its technology to market, besides the device, the company is planning to launch two accompanying application kits, Enrich-Live and Enrich-Seq, to unify the fragmented cell isolation market. The successful commercialization of Enrich products will enable thousands of cell biology labs and clinical settings to manipulate single cells as well as desired cell combinations on their computer screens with much-reduced cost and superior outcome.
