As part of that world-class team, I’m excited to help accelerate the company’s growth.”
SEngine Precision Medicine has the first and only lab in the United States to earn Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification for a high-throughput, high-complexity test for all solid tumors. The test is named PARIS Test®, an analogy with Paris who defeated the Greek hero Achilles by precisely targeting his only weakness. The CLIA certification enables oncologists to utilize the results of the test to inform patient treatment decisions.
Scientists at SEngine are further leveraging data from The PARIS Test® and industry partnerships to advance its proprietary portfolio of targeted cancer drugs aimed at cancer vulnerabilities.
