NEW YORK – Cancer early detection firm Acuamark Diagnostics said Wednesday that it has closed an $11.3 million Series A financing round, led by the office of Claudio Del Vecchio and the Del Vecchio Family Foundation and joined by Bruker as a new investor.
Del Vecchio also joined Acuamark's board of directors.
Acuamark, formerly iCareDx, is developing ultra-sensitive, automatable blood tests for accurate, cost-effective early cancer detection and said that it will use the Series A proceeds to scale its sample collections.
The New York company has described its platform as a proprietary PCR-based multiplexing technology that can detect a variety of cancer biomarkers such as mutations and gene expression signatures.
