EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

KineMed, Inc. (www.kinemed.com) announced today that David Fineman, KineMeds CEO will present at the 2013 Biotech Showcase Conference on Monday, January 7th at 2:00 p.m. on the 4th floor of the Parc 55 Windham Hotel -- Union Square, San Francisco.

Mr. Finemans presentation entitled Functionally Interpretable Translational Biomarkers for the Next Generation of Disease Management will present powerful examples of KineMeds new class of kinetic biomarker across the spectrum of medicines development and clinical care, from identifying the molecular causes of disease, to the pairing of drugs with diagnostics to treat patients more effectively.

KineMeds unique signatures of disease state are derived from its proprietary Network Dynamics platform, which reveals causal relationships underlying the biology of disease mechanisms. These measurements of change are derived from ultra-sensitive, high-throughput mass spectroscopy of the entire proteome and metabolome.

As our industry looks towards personalized medicine and the next generation of disease management, the indispensable role of biomarkers becomes increasingly clear, said Mr. Fineman. We are offering a truly universal method that is fully translational from preclinical R&D to clinical diagnostic measurements, all from a single drop of blood. At Biotech Showcase 2013, we will highlight successful examples of our unique approach across key indications including neurodegeneration, muscle wasting and fibrotic disease, showing how these techniques are becoming central to mainstream pharmaceutical development and disease management strategies.
