Organization, Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Acquisitions

We are an oncology diagnostics company focused on developing, commercializing and providing DNA-based tests and services to improve the personalization of cancer treatment and to better inform biopharmaceutical companies of genomic factors influencing subject responses to therapeutics. Our vision is to become the oncology diagnostics partner for companies and clinicians by participating in the entire care continuum from bench to bedside. We believe the diagnostic industry is undergoing a metamorphosis in its approach to oncology testing, embracing individualized medicine as a means to drive higher standards of patient treatment and disease management. Similarly, biopharma companies are increasingly engaging companies such as ours to provide information on clinical trial participants’ DNA profiles in order to identify genomic variations that may be responsible for differing responses to pharmaceuticals, and particularly to oncology drugs, thereby increasing the efficiency of trials while lowering related costs. We believe tailored therapeutics can revolutionize oncology medicine through DNA-based testing services, enabling physicians and researchers to target the factors that make each patient and disease unique. We have created a unique position in the industry by providing targeted somatic analysis of tumor sample cells alongside germline analysis of an individuals' non-cancerous cells' DNA as we attempt to reach the next milestone in personalized medicine. Individuals are born with germline mutations and somatic mutations arise in tissues over the course of a lifetime.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 8, 1999 and have offices and state-of-the-art laboratories located in New Jersey, North Carolina, Shanghai (China), and Hyderabad, India. Our laboratories comply with the highest regulatory standards as appropriate for the services they deliver including CLIA, CAP, NY State and NABL (India).We have two advisory boards to counsel our scientific and clinical direction. Our Scientific Advisory Board is comprised of preeminent scientists and physicians from the fields of cancer biology, cancer pathology, cancer medicine and molecular genetics. Our Clinical Advisory Board is comprised of clinicians and scientists focused on clinical implementation of our proprietary tests and services and mapping those tests and services to patient needs.  Our services are built on a foundation of world-class scientific knowledge and intellectual property in solid and blood-borne cancers, as well as strong academic relationships with major cancer centers such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Mayo Clinic, and the National Cancer Institute.
