Corporate Mission
20/20 GeneSystems? mission is to develop and bring to market innovative diagnostic products for the early detection of disease and the selection and monitoring of optimum, personalized therapies. Our diagnostic products are based on multiple protein biomarkers and address significant unmet medical needs in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and biodefense.
We are currently developing a biomarker based blood test for that identifies lung cancer up to 4 years earlier than CT scanning with between 80-90% diagnostic accuracy. This accuracy appears significanly superior to all tests known to be on the market or in development.
20/20's proprietary platform technology known as Layered BioArrays permits biomarker panels to be used with tissue and blood samples in ways far superior to existing protein biomarker platforms. Thus, we are uniquely positioned to play a leading role in commercializing a wide array of protein biomarker based diagnostics.
