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.

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.

A clinical research provider that conducts clinical research for pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies as well as government sponsored trials. We also facilitate training programs for clinical research practitioners and site preparation for studies.

We also aim to help clinical research facilities and professionals conduct clinical trials following GCP/ICH. By doing so we believe will be beneficial to pharmaceutical companies as it would allow for clinical trials to run smoother and more efficiently. It will also help subjects get quality service during the clinical studies.

Somno-Art is an ambulatory monitoring device allowing the scoring of the user's sleep internal structure with results equivalent to those obtained from the complex polysomnography (PSG). Based on the recordings of two basic and easy-to-measure physiological variables, heart rate and body movements, our in-house software produces a full description of the sleep architecture

Around 20% of the overall population suffers from chronic sleep disorders resulting in tens of billion dollars of productivity losses with serious repercussions on the overall health of people (blood pressure, obesity, chronic fatigue...). Somno-Art will allow easier and faster sleep diagnostics compared to traditional sleep monitoring devices.
