Diagnoplex SA (Lausanne, Switzerland) is a developer of molecular diagnostics for colorectal cancer. The company’s lead product, Colox®, is a convenient and minimally invasive blood test developed for the systematic screening of colorectal cancer. The gene signature underlying Colox® has been designed to detect early and advanced disease stages with outstanding results and reliability. Colox® leverages the information from nucleic acids carried by peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells are instrumental for tumour-host interactions, the so-called “host response”, and are involved at the earliest stages of tumour formation. Diagnoplex’s ability to screen for the host response enables it to detect colorectal cancer risk at early and even pre-cancerous stage. Colox® will initially be available in Switzerland and Sweden.  For more information, visit: www.diagnoplex.com
