The SAB will help guide the development of Biofidelity’s portfolio of molecular diagnostic products based on its breakthrough ASPYRE technology, which enables simple, decentralized multi-gene testing in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of current technologies.
With the ability to perform ultra-sensitive detection of panels of DNA and RNA mutations from tissue or blood using existing real-time PCR platforms, ASPYRE provides comprehensive actionable results in a matter of hours.Biofidelity expects to launch ASPYRE-Lung (formerly Identi-Lung), its first commercial diagnostic assay, later this year through its recently established US headquarters and cancer diagnostic laboratory in Research Triangle Park, NC.
