QIAGEN is partnering with Freenome to accelerate companion diagnostics development in immuno-oncology by pairing
industry-leading artificial intelligence with QIAGEN’s Sample to Insight solutions. QIAGEN and Freenome will co-market the two
partners’ solutions to provide pharmaceutical companies with access to machine learning insights from a broad range of biological
signals, augmenting in-house bioinformatics and QIAGEN solutions. The collaboration is addressing the need for faster, more
accurate and sophisticated molecular diagnostic tests that predict whether a patient will benefit from immuno-oncology
therapies.
