In a recent discussion on diagnostic company funding, Acuamark CEO Bernard Peperstraete highlighted advances in blood-based diagnostics technologies.
While the industry has a lot to be proud of, especially with respect to late-stage disease detection, Acuamark has engineered the first-ever qPCR-based approach optimized for highly accurate early cancer signal detection at ultra-low abundance.

AcuamarkDx is a cancer diagnostics company making early cancer detection the new standard of primary care. Frequent monitoring and screening are the standard of care for diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Why can’t this be true for cancer? At present, no early cancer diagnostic is both sensitive and specific. The AcuamarkDx technology uses optimized qPCR to detect low-abundance methylation markers, allowing for both sensitive and specific detection of cancer at early stages. The company’s initial product will focus on colorectal cancer, with a pan-cancer screening test to follow. With the implementation of its tests, AcuamarkDx hopes to prevent 5 million cancer deaths annually by providing earlier cancer detection for all.
Acuamark Diagnostics is pleased to announce Giulia Kennedy, Ph.D., has joined our board of directors. Dr. Kennedy brings more than two decades of experience developing novel diagnostic technologies, most recently as global chief scientific officer and chief medical officer at Veracyte, a cancer genetics company.
The round was led by Claudio Del Vecchio and joined by Bruker Corporation.
