DENVER – A company that is creating the first early detection tool for ovarian cancer recently opened a lab in Denver.
AOA DX is currently conducting clinical studies for an early detection tool that uses blood samples to potentially identify biomarkers for ovarian cancer tumors with more than 90% accuracy. "We raised a great round of capital last fall, which really allowed us to expedite our growth. And as part of that growth, we opened a lab here in Denver. And this lab now employs scientists that are developing this technology," said Oriana Papin-Zoghbi, co-founder and the CEO of AOA DX."It's hugely important because generally diagnostics for conditions that predominantly affect women, or only affect women, have not really been developed in our lifetime.
Papin-Zoghbi said she is proud of the work AOA DX is doing and looks forward to continuing crucial research in Denver. The Follow Up What do you want Denver7 to follow up on? Is there a story, topic or issue you want us to revisit? Let us know with the contact form below.
