Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Research Alliance United States

Our Mission

The Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Research Alliance is dedicated to playing a catalytic role in accelerating cures for cancer by enabling the pursuit of the most innovative and advanced cancer research and by facilitating collaborations between science and business.

The Alliance will launch a series of initiatives to further its Mission.

Our Story

Karen and Bill Ackman established The Pershing Square Foundation in December 2006. Bill is the CEO and Portfolio Manager of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. Based in New York, The Pershing Square Foundation has committed close to $350 million in grants and social investments to support exceptional leaders and innovative organizations that tackle important social issues and deliver scalable and sustainable impact across the globe.

The Foundation’s commitment to be a philanthropic catalyst inspired Bill Ackman to partner with The Sohn Conference Foundation to accelerate cures for cancer. The Sohn Conference Foundation was born from the loss of Ira Sohn, a Wall Street professional who succumbed to cancer at 29. In 1995, his colleagues, friends, and family joined forces to honor his memory. The Sohn Conference Foundation is dedicated to supporting innovative initiatives to cure and treat pediatric cancer. Identifying specific areas of need, the Foundation funds groundbreaking research, state-of-the-art technology, and programs to target cures and improve patient care.

The alliance of these two foundations will leverage their respective resources, their investigators, and their opportunities to exponentially impact the field of cancer research.

Premier Heart, LLC United States

oronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for over 7 Million deaths annually — more than any other disease category.

Premier Heart's Multifunction Cardiogram is the only non-invasive online diagnostic testing tool designed to assist physicians in quickly and accurately detecting heart diseases, including CAD ischemia.
When compared to traditional methods MCG has consistently been able to more accurately detect ischemia at earlier stages, enabling physicians to intervene and save lives.

The results from MCG have been validated in double-blind clinical studies where our system has demonstrated accuracy comparable to coronary angiography (90% overall sensitivity, 85% specificity).
This level of accuracy results from advanced techniques in signal processing and systems analysis combined with our unmatched clinical database which allows MCG to provide quantitative, evidence-based results to assist in reaching a diagnosis.

We invite you to review our clinical trial resultsuser endorsements and technical data. If you want to learn more about using MCG in your practice or would like more information about our technology please feel free to contact us.
