HTG Presents at the 11th Annual Edition of the Worldwide Innovative Networking (WIN) Symposium
TUCSON, Ariz., July 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HTG Molecular Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTGM) (HTG), a diagnostic company whose mission is to advance precision medicine, today announced that it presented its technology in an oral presentation at the annual WIN Symposium meeting for personalized medicine held on June 23-24, 2019 in Paris, France.
The presentation, given by Dr. Debrah Thomson, Vice President of Research at HTG and entitled “Matched Tumor/Normal Expression Profiling from Small FFPE Samples,” illustrated the potential application of HTG’s technology in the personalized treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and urothelial carcinomas.
“We are a proud member of the WIN Consortium and are delighted to have the opportunity to present our technology to this esteemed group of scientists and researchers at the WIN Symposium,” stated John Lubniewski, HTG’s President and CEO. “This presentation highlights the benefits of our HTG EdgeSeq chemistry across a broad range of patient-centered questions. This forum was the perfect setting to highlight our ability to create gene-expression classifiers which answer unmet patient needs.”
The HTG EdgeSeq platform is an integrated system inclusive of instrument, reagents and software that automates gene expression workflow and can quickly, robustly and simultaneously profile tens, hundreds or thousands of molecular targets from samples a fraction of the size required by many prevailing technologies.
