ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BioTime, Inc. (NYSE MKT: BTX) and its subsidiary OncoCyte Corporation today announced that OncoCyte has entered into a License Agreement with Cornell University through which Weill Cornell Medical College will provide blood samples derived from healthy people and lung cancer patients for comparative analysis using the Company’s proprietary PanC-Dx™ diagnostic tests. OncoCyte scientists will determine levels of tumor-associated gene expression in these samples, including assessing levels of its proprietary PanC-Dx™ cancer markers.
