Biomarker company Inoviv announced it has secured significant funding from venture capital firm Hoxton Ventures and leading investment manager Foresight Group to expand the delivery of highly accurate, fully quantitative targeted biomarker workflows and panels.
Building on a previous funding round from Hoxton Ventures, this latest investment will enable Inoviv to expand its commercial activities further to support the pharmaceutical and biotech space in support of clinical proteomics, including clinical trial monitoring while also extending R&D capacity and innovation to address the fast-growing biomarker market and accelerate the development and approval of life-changing therapeutics.
Inoviv offers bespoke and off-the-shelf multiplexed, fully quantitative, and validated assays. This funding round will help to accelerate Inoviv’s product pipeline from the Neurological and Fibrosis space to Oncology and beyond.
Inoviv’s breakthroughs in mass spectrometry include developments in hybrid assays to enable multiplexing of previously immeasurable biomarkers and rapid standards development to support quantitative workflows. And these panels can measure over 50+fully calibrated and validated, definitive biomarkers per sample covering a range of analytes across different sample types that are highly reproducible. Assays could be tailored according to the drug, disease, and mechanism of action, and are carried out in GLP/GCP accredited laboratories.
