“Biodesix expertise in test discovery and development, regulatory, reimbursement, and commercialization provides an exceptional level of service for our partners across a range of applications. The AACR presentations showcase basic research through clinical applications and pre-validated assays available for biopharma and life science partners, as well as advancements in our pipeline efforts. The data are reinforced by more than a decade of experience supporting the clinical development and commercialization of new diagnostics and therapeutics,” said Gary Pestano, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, Biodesix.
“The depth of experience and success across the Biodesix team, spanning real-world clinical care and cutting-edge research, will be on full display at this year’s AACR. It is especially exciting to see our genomic and proteomic technologies, combined with advanced data informatics, translating into meaningful clinical impact in our pipeline product concepts while also fueling strong momentum in our Development Services business as we move into 2026,” said Scott Hutton, CEO, Biodesix.
Tumor & Immune Profiling Expertise
Biodesix oral and poster presentations highlight diverse technology platforms, rapid turn-around times for our clinical tests, and extensive capabilities in immune and tumor profiling using mass spectrometry, Bio-Rad Droplet Digital PCR™, and Thermo Fisher ™ platforms. In addition, Biodesix has validated a new clinical myeloid panel on the Thermo Fisher . The platform supports an automated clinical next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow and can deliver sequencing results in as little as 24 hours.
