According to the company website, the company performs a variety of diagnostic tasks, including bioinformatics analysis and tumor molecular pathology conducted via next-generation sequencing, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization and digital pathology.
It aims to use those tools to gather information that enables personalized treatment of cancer.
The company is based in Guangzhou, a city in southeastern China, near Hong Kong.
Investors in the latest round include Jifeng Capital, Sequoia Capital and Legend Star. The company was founded in March 2014, and last year raised $9.7 million in a Series A round from Northern Light Venture Capital and Legend Star.
