Chronix Biomedical, Inc. is a molecular diagnostics company developing blood tests primarily for monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD) in cancer patients. Chronix will offer its pioneering tests through its own CLIA certified laboratories expected to open in 2015. The value proposition of the Chronix MRD test is that it:
1) Reduces costs by saving money on unnecessary treatments and more importantly treating cancer recurrences earlier in patients.
2) Improves quality in healthcare by treating a patients recurrences of cancer as earlier as possible. In addition, it eliminates unnecessary treatments to patients.
3) Increases access to healthcare because a patient can have their blood drawn at any blood-drawing station or in their physician's office and sent to the Chronix laboratory.
Chronix is privately held with headquarters in San Jose, California, and laboratories in Göttingen, Germany and Brookings, South Dakota.
