His scientific integrity and curiosity shine throughout his publications. I join everyone at iMDx in congratulating Dr. Schuetz on this monumental achievement,\u201d iMDx CEO Josh Riggs said. \u201cDr. Schuetz is a well-known scientific leader and key member of the management team at iMDx. He also is one of the original inventors of the underlying science in our flagship technology that is in GraftAssure. His presence as Chief Science Officer is meaningfully validating for the company \u2014 the scientist who built our core technology is still running it, and we benefit from this scientific continuity. The GraftAssure technology and the data support behind it are all credited to Dr. Schuetz\u2019s life&#8217;s work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Schuetz commented, \u201cFor over three decades I have been actively publishing in the field of laboratory medicine and molecular diagnostics; and during the past 15 years, generating the clinical evidence base rationalizing the preferred use of dd-cfDNA technology.

The company aims to deliver proven, more affordable, faster tests that can be run in-house at local transplant center laboratories. iMDx has designed a molecular test that it can sell as a test kit to help enable transplant center laboratories to run tests locally and deliver critical test results far more quickly than the current send-out tests. The company is now seeking FDA marketing authorization to sell these kits to transplant centers in the U.S.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Over time, iMDx sees three potential paradigm shifts in transplanted organ health monitoring:\n<ul type=\"circle\">\n<li><strong>Bringing testing closer to the patient: <\/strong>The first is a shift in where donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) testing is performed \u2013 migrating out of centralized reference laboratories and into hospital-based laboratories capable of delivering results locally. The company seeks to demonstrate that in-house testing is better for patients and physicians. (As a reminder, dd-cfDNA is an established biomarker for assessing the health of a transplanted organ through a simple blood draw.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expanding the clinical role of dd-cfDNA: <\/strong>The second is the growing potential for dd-cfDNA testing, powered by digital PCR technology, to support earlier detection of allograft injury, longitudinal monitoring of transplant health, and assessment of response to emerging anti-rejection therapies.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt\"><strong>Advancing from rule-out to comprehensive decision support: <\/strong>The third is a transition from the current rule-out-biopsy testing paradigm toward a more comprehensive rule-out and rule-in approach, enabled by GraftAssure\u2019s ability to measure both dd-cfDNA percentage and absolute, or true, concentrations as copies per milliliter of plasma.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>iMDx Transplant Products and Product Candidates in Development<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>iMDx\u2019s flagship transplant testing technology quantifies a molecular biomarker known as donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA).
