New Investment for Development of CNSE’s RNA Technology by Hocus Locus

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the RNA technology invented at CNSE will be developed by Albany-based Hocus Locus, LLC with a recent investment from Eastern New York Angels. Once developed, the technology will provide medical researchers and healthcare providers with a new diagnostic tool to aid in the detection of cancer and other diseases. Its creators say the technology could also lead to the development of new treatments for those diseases.
