In #biotech #stocks news, one of the #LiquidBiopsy #CancerDx stocks in my list is $BNR Burning Rock, a company with presence mainly in Asia that started trading in the NASDAQ a while ago. It is now at lowest levels having recently gone below the $20 mark Image
At around $2B valuation, they are still in the top 10 of companies in the #LiquidBiopsy #CancerDx field: bit.ly/liqbiopsy Image
Notice that #GrailBio is still marked at $2B valuation in my table: this is not the $8B figure that #Illumina is intending to buy it at, but I'll wait until the acquisition is completed (and not legally challenged by the US/EU authorities) before updating the value in the table.

#JPM2021 #ExactSciences #LiquidBiopsy My highlights: I will focus on the liquid biopsy / #epigenomics profiling side of the presentation, which is where my interest lies: Exact described the data from Thrive multi-cancer screening, based on 'mutation+protein'
The details they gave on their other recent acquisition, #BaseGenomics are illuminating: they will use their bisulfite-free methylation profiling method for their Cologuard 2.0 test for CRC, but also for the multi-cancer test, and possibly the MRD test as well.
So this means that #ExactSciences intend to upgrade their tech in two steps: from current Cologuard 1.0 to a new test that includes Thrive's tech, and then a second upgrade using the #BaseGenomics #Epigenomics profiling tech.
