SAN DIEGO, May 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Epic Sciences, Inc. (“Epic”), a private biotech company that designs and develops diagnostics to personalize and advance the treatment and management of cancer, announced today that Michael Rodriguez, chief financial officer, will present at the UBS Global Healthcare Conference on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The conference will be held at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel in New York.
Epic is developing highly sensitive and informative diagnostic tests to rapidly quantify the proteomic and genomic changes that occur over time during the course of a patient’s cancer. Following a simple blood draw, Epic’s “no cell left behind” platform can detect all categories of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood, whereas other technologies rely on size or surface marker parameters and can “miss” CTCs critical to delivering a comprehensive view of cancer heterogeneity. Epic also recently announced that their platform technology is compatible with single cell genomic and proteomic analysis, enabling a further level of precision to detect early signs of drug resistance that could influence therapy selection, including the use of combination therapies.
