PALO ALTO, Calif.--()--twoXAR, Inc., a company dedicated to improving health through computation, today announced that it has been named as one of the inaugural MIT Startup Exchange (STEX) STEX25 companies.

In 2016, STEX made over 500 initial introductions between ILP members and startups. These introductions led to partnerships, licensed technology, customer agreements and other commercial arrangements. 1,200+ startups are part of STEX from across all research centers and departments at MIT. Collectively, STEX startups are shaping the future across existing and emerging industries. STEX25 is a startup accelerator focused on accelerating partnerships between STEX startups and ILP member corporations.
