Champions Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in creating transformative technology solutions to be utilized in oncology drug discovery and development. This technology includes proprietary in-vivo, ex-vivo and biomarker platforms, unique oncology software solutions and computational-based discovery platforms. Utilizing its TumorGraft Technology Platform ("The Platform"), a comprehensive bank of unique, well characterized models, the Company provides select services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies seeking personalized approaches to drug development. By performing pharmacology studies to predict the efficacy of oncology drugs, the Company’s Platform facilitates drug discovery with lower costs and increased speed of drug development as well as increased adoption of existing drugs.

The Company’s Software as a Service business is centered around a proprietary software platform and data tool, Lumin Bioinformatics ("Lumin”), which contains comprehensive information derived from our research services and clinical studies. Lumin leverages Champions’ large datacenter coupled with analytics and artificial intelligence to provide a robust tool for computational cancer research.

The Company’s drug discovery and development business leverages the computational and experimental capabilities within its platforms.
