Dow Jones Description

Long before anyone was using the words "personalized healthcare" and "personalized medicine", Interleukin Genetics was focused on harnessing knowledge about the genetics of a key bodily defense system inflammation and developing ways to modulate that system that would promote wellness. Interleukin Genetics is the only company that has developed a DNA based risk assessment test that can tell people whether or not they have a genetic risk factor that affects their own inflammatory response. Chronic inflammation is now thought to be an important risk factor for heart disease, and interleukin-1 (IL-1) genetic variations have been shown to be an indicator of early cardiac events. Interleukin Genetics is also the only biotechnology company that has a strategic alliance with a large consumer products company that markets a nutritional product designed for people who test positive for specific IL-1 genetic variations. Our President and Chief Scientific Officer, Ken Kornman, DDS, PHD founded the company more than 15 years ago around the idea that inflammation plays an important role in the natural history of many diseases. Under Ken's leadership, the company quickly developed a number of important academic collaborations that allowed it to effectively leverage its research effort. Currently, our research partners and scientific advisors include professors at Tufts University School of Medicine, Harvard University Medical School, the University of Sheffield and several others...

Emad El-Omar MD, is an expert in genetics and the risk and management of gastrointestinal cancers. His work has led to the understanding that inflammation in the stomach caused by Helicobacter pylori infection - the bacterial infection implicated in GI ulcers and also considered the primary risk factor in gastric cancer - is excessive in people with specific IL-1 genetic variations. The excess inflammation appears to lead to decreased stomach acid and atrophy of the gastric mucosa (tissue lining the stomach), leading to cancerous changes. Dr. El-Omar is Professor and Chair of Gastroenterology and leader of the Biology of Cancer Theme within the Institute of Medical Sciences, Aberdeen University, Scotland. He was previously at the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland. In 2000, Professor El-Omar published a landmark paper (Nature 2000 404:398-402) describing the role of interleukin-1 genetic variations in gastric cancer. Since that time, investigators have confirmed his findings in over 20 studies. His current research focuses primarily on the role of inflammation in GI cancers.
