Executive Summary
Xanthus is pursuing personalized medicine in a way quite different from pharmacogenomics players: rather than exclude patients from treatment, this start-up aims to optimize drug dosing for everyone--beginning with anti-cancer compounds. Instead of relying on genes that may or may not be activated, Xanthus is gauging phenotypic factors, traits that are already physically manifest.
