OncoMethylome Sciences SA

Epigenomics AG may be a big name in the small world of diagnostic start-ups these days because of its recent IPO, but two-year-old OncoMethylome Sciences SA believes it can give the older company stiff competition in the emerging field of DNA methylation-based cancer markers. The company is developing tests for early diagnosis of cancer and stratification of disease treatments, using highly sensitive, cost-effective DNA methylation technologies.
