Description: Founded in 2000, the company is a molecular diagnostics company based in Brisbane, CA, USA.
It applies modern genomics technologies to the development of molecular diagnostic assays that
translate a patient's immune status into clinically actionable information.
This diagnostics company has one marketed product and other products under development. The
proprietary molecular expression technology used by the company to develop testing for heart
transplant patient management may be applicable to the post-transplant management of recipients
of other organs. The application of gene expression testing to other diseases that involve the activity
of the immune system, such as autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, is also being
explored.
