The company hopes to revolutionize neurosurgery using MRI imaging similar to how the endoscope revolutionized orthopedic surgery or how fluoroscopy changed the dynamics of cardiovascular procedures.
Companies such as CellDex Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CLDX), ImmunoCellular Therapeutics (AMEX:IMUC) or Agenus (NASDAQ:AGEN), who are developing experimental therapies targeting brain tumors, can utilize MRI Interventions’ technology as a direct delivery platform for their drugs. In facilitating the delivery of these, and other, experimental therapies, MRI Interventions creates risk-mitigated exposure to the future of treating neurologic diseases. As an intermediary in the delivery of therapeutics, MRI Interventions benefits from the recurring use of its technology, which drives revenues and cash-flows. In an exclusive video interview, MRI Interventions Chief Executive Officer, Kimble Jenkins, discusses the company's outlook and growth prospects, utilization of ClearPoint - the company's MRI-guided visualization platform - and research & development efforts, particularly a next-generation visualization platform that will guide surgeons in catheter-based cardiac EP procedures.
