Geneoscopy has successfully closed a $105 million Series C funding round, led by Bio-Rad Laboratories (NYSE: BIO). The funding will support the launch of ColoSense®, a non-invasive colorectal cancer screening test, and advance diagnostic innovations for inflammatory bowel disease.

The investment round included participation from notable investors including Petrichor, Labcorp, Morningside Ventures, and others. Geneoscopy's technology combines RNA isolation from stool samples with Bio-Rad's Droplet Digital™ PCR technology for effective cancer screening. Through a partnership with Labcorp, ColoSense will be made widely available to healthcare providers.

This funding follows FDA approval of ColoSense and aims to address the rising incidence of colorectal cancer, particularly among people under 50. The test offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopies, potentially increasing screening accessibility for millions of eligible individuals who currently avoid testing.

Labcorp (NYSE: LH) has launched a new commercial H5 bird flu molecular test in the United States to diagnose human infections with H5N1 virus. The test development, supported by the CDC, comes amid a multistate outbreak affecting poultry and dairy cows, with recent human cases reported in dairy and poultry workers. Healthcare providers can now order the test for suspected cases, collecting nasopharyngeal swab specimens for PCR analysis.

While current public health risk remains low, the test enhances testing infrastructure and supports public health preparedness. The CDC is monitoring human cases, and the USDA is conducting surveillance of milk supply and dairy herds. This initiative follows Labcorp's previous collaborations with CDC on testing for emerging viruses like Zika, COVID-19, and mpox.

Outcomes4Me and Labcorp will present findings from their joint biomarker awareness study at the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. The research focused on HER2-low awareness in metastatic breast cancer patients. The study revealed that 41.9% of patients with known HER2 status were not well-aware of HER2-low classification, and 51.3% of HER2-negative patients didn't recall discussing HER2-low with their oncologists.

Through a digital education campaign including discussion guides and webinars, the initiative showed promising results: 60.9% of patients with unknown HER2 status felt likely to discuss testing with their oncologist after engaging with the educational content. The study demonstrates how digital patient education can effectively increase biomarker awareness and encourage patient-provider discussions about testing.
