This brings the total investment into Pathway Genomics to over $130 million. Investors in this round of funding include IBM Watson, Pathway's partner in the development of a mobile health application using artificial intelligence to provide personalized health and wellness guidance.

Additional Series E investments will be completed in the first quarter of 2016.
