GenomeDx Biosciences Inc, a molecular diagnostic company, announced today it has closed a Series A financing round led by Baird Venture Partners (BVP), the U.S. venture capital fund of Baird Private Equity, and aeris CAPITAL AG. CD Ventures and individual investors also participated in the financing round.

GenomeDx develops and commercializes molecular diagnostic tests and clinical support tools for the personalized medicine revolution in cancer care. In partnership with physicians and scientists at leading academic medical institutions, the company's mission is to bring cost-effective and actionable genomics into standard clinical use in cancer medicine. By analyzing the underlying biology of cancer and using the genomic information that lies within individual patients, the GenomeDx portfolio of tests will enable personalized therapeutic decisions for cancer patients faced with complex choices.

"Utilization of human genomic information is dramatically altering the manner in which cancer is treated and managed by healthcare professionals," said Doug Dolginow, M.D., CEO of GenomeDx. "We are excited to be partnering with BVP, aeris and CD Ventures as we pursue our vision of making genomic information more accessible to oncology professionals and enabling them to enhance care of their cancer patients for better outcomes."

"Our robust network of operating professionals has been instrumental in facilitating this investment," said Mike Liang, Ph.D., BVP Partner. "We began tracking the company more than two years ago, when we were introduced to it by founder Tim Triche, M.D., Ph.D., a member of our Advisory Board."

"One of the greatest challenges faced by the current healthcare system is the ability to provide high quality, personalized care to cancer patients, while also containing the rising cost of this care. The GenomeDx team has developed an innovative technology that will have significant benefits for cancer patients as well as the healthcare system as a whole." said George Rehm, managing partner at aeris CAPITAL.

As part of this financing, Liang and Rehm will join the GenomeDx Board of Directors.
