GeneDx is focused on delivering personalized, actionable insights that improve health outcomes. We sit at the intersection of diagnostics and data science, pairing decades of genomic expertise with an unmatched ability to interpret clinical data at scale. Our exome and genome testing is among the best in the industry. We expect that it will be even more advanced in the future with the help of Centrellis®, our innovative health information platform. Powered by millions of medical records, Centrellis® integrates digital tools with artificial intelligence to ingest and synthesize clinical and genomic data. As a result of our robust test menu, including our exome and genome testing, and the comprehensive insights generated by Centrellis®, we are developing a more complete understanding of complex disease than ever before. This translates to faster diagnosis, more effective treatment plans, and enhanced drug discovery. Our offerings help a whole spectrum of healthcare partners -- clinicians, researchers, health systems, pharmaceutical companies, and payors -- improve patient experiences and advance population health.
San Diego-based Biocept, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOC) develops and performs diagnostic assays that provide clinically actionable information to improve outcomes for patients with a variety of cancers. Biocept`s unique combination of cell-based and cell-free DNA analysis allows us to rapidly detect and monitor certain cancer biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Our patented Target Selector™ technology quantitatively analyzes tumor cells for tumor-associated biomarkers, offering high sensitivity and specificity compared with methods currently used by other laboratories. In addition to our broad portfolio of blood-based liquid biopsy tests, we offer the CNSide™ CSF assay, which addresses an unmet clinical need for patients with cancer that has metastasized to the central nervous system. Between 10% and 30% of patients with cancer will develop brain or spinal cord metastasis. Survival is often low, and few are diagnosed early enough for effective therapeutic intervention. CNSide answers three key questions: Is there a tumor? Is there a target for treatment? Is there a trend in treatment response? We offer diagnostic laboratory services for oncologists, pathologists, hospitals, cancer centers, universities, pharmaceutical and clinical researchers, and other healthcare providers. Our CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory combines a highly trained professional staff with innovative instrumentation for optimal test results and quality control. Biocept works with strategic industry leaders, as well as major cancer centers across the U.S., to further its mission of helping to improve outcomes for cancer patients. We also are utilizing our molecular diagnostic capabilities to offer nationwide RT-PCR-based COVID-19 testing and services to support public health efforts. Revenue from COVID-19 testing has supported further investment in our core oncology business, positioning the company for long-term success.
Cortexyme is developing therapeutics based on data supporting a new theory of the cause of Alzheimer`s and other neurodegenerative disorders. Cortexyme is targeting a specific, undisclosed pathogen tied to neurodegeneration. The target has been validated in a number of animal models and Cortexyme is currently testing several potential lead therapeutics in preclinical studies.
