Was Cofactor Genomics tut

Cofactor uses RNA and Predictive Immune Modeling to build better biomarkers and improve patient outcomes. Led by Jarret Glasscock and a group of expert human genome scientists,Cofactor has built a new category of diagnostic technology powered by unique and powerful RNA data models built on terabytes of data. The team recently had their technology validation peer-reviewed by the organizations that set standards for diagnostic technology (CAP, AMP) and is publishing in the Journal of Molecular Diagnostics. In addition, the team made news when Cancer Physicians who sit on the committee for patient treatment guidelines (NCCN) presented a clinical study using Cofactor’s technology showing superiority in predicting the patients who will respond to immunotherapy. This initial application is an acute problem recognized widely in the rapidly developing immunotherapy industry and represents north of a billion dollar TAM. After a number of recent key milestones, the team is taking the technology more broadly to 50% of cancers diagnosed in the US. Current investors include Menlo Ventures, DCVC, and Ascension Ventures (this last investor representing the funding arm for 13 National U.S. Healthcare Systems).

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Cofactor closes the precision medicine gap with predictive diagnostics

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build diagnostic tests using RNA sequencing and predictive immune modeling to create biomarkers that better predict patient responses, mainly for cancer immunotherapy. Our product helps doctors select which patients will respond to specific treatments, improving outcomes where current diagnostics fall short.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in St. Louis, Missouri, and the company remains based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

St. Louis grounds us with access to strong genomics talent and a supportive healthcare ecosystem, including relationships with national healthcare systems. We don't see a need to relocate right now.
