TUCSON, Ariz., June 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HTG Molecular Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTGM) (HTG), a life science company advancing precision medicine through its innovative transcriptome-wide profiling technology, today announced its HTG EdgeSeq technology was highlighted in multiple scientific abstracts at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference held in Chicago, Illinois.
Abstracts were presented by HTG’s key biopharma customers and scientific collaborators from both the United States and Europe highlighting the unique features, benefits and results utilizing HTG’s proprietary HTG EdgeSeq gene expression profiling (GEP) technology. Prominent among the research presented was the HTG Transcriptome Panel (HTP). The HTP, released for commercial use in August 2021, enables the capture of comprehensive and reliable human transcriptome data using a fraction of the sample typically required by other GEP methods.
“Despite excellent progress in treatment efficacy, it remains clear that the use of precision medicine enabled by gene expression profiling is critically needed to make further, meaningful reductions in cancer driven morbidity and mortality,” said John Lubniewski, CEO of HTG. “Cancer remains the world’s deadliest malady, and HTG remains dedicated to supporting cutting edge research efforts utilizing transcriptomics-enabled precision medicine.”
Abstracts presented at the 2022 ASCO conference showcasing the HTG EdgeSeq technology include:
- Abstract 7576: “DLBCL cell of origin typing and whole transcriptome analysis using single slides with HTG EdgeSeq” (Genmab US, Inc., Plainsboro, NJ)
- Abstract e15063: “HTG Transcriptome Panel (HTP): An accurate and robust tool for transcriptome-wide gene expression profiling” (HTG, Tucson, AZ)
- Abstract 583: “Biomarkers for response to immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer: Differences between survival and pCR biomarkers” (Institute of Pathology, Phillipps-University Marburg and University Hospital Marburg, Marburg, Germany)
- Abstract 11549: “Prognostic value of EZH2 expression for immunotherapy-based schemes in advanced soft-tissue sarcoma: A translational research from Spanish Group of Research of Sarcoma (GEIS)” (Group of Advanced Therapies and Biomarkers in Sarcomas, Health Research Institute-Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain)
“The number of posters highlighting our technology at this year’s ASCO conference is a testament to the utility of our technology,” continued Mr. Lubniewski. “We are proud to partner with such innovative research centers and will continue to seek out partners and collaborators who can use our technology to take science to new heights.”
