Company Overview
bioAffinity Technologies addresses the urgent need for noninvasive, accurate early-stage cancer diagnosis and broad-spectrum cancer treatments. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The Company’s first product, CyPath® Lung, improves early-stage detection of lung cancer, leading to increased survival, fewer unnecessary invasive procedures, reduced patient anxiety, and lower medical costs. CyPath® Lung, a laboratory developed test (LTD), is patient-friendly and physician focused. Physicians order CyPath® Lung for their patients after lung cancer screening or other imaging reveals a suspicious finding.
Patients collect their sample at home and ship overnight in a pre-paid envelope to the Company’s commercial laboratory, Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, where data is collected using flow cytometry. Proprietary automated data analysis, developed using artificial intelligence (AI), detects lung cancer by analyzing the lung microenvironment to identify cell populations that indicate malignancy. CyPath® Lung has shown high sensitivity (92%), high specificity (87%) and high accuracy (88%) in detecting early-stage lung cancer in patients with small pulmonary nodules less than 20 millimeters. Research and optimization of the Company’s platform technologies are conducted in its laboratories at Precision Pathology.
Value Proposition
bioAffinity Technologies is an emerging leader in early-stage cancer diagnostics. Its flagship product, CyPath® Lung, a noninvasive test for early detection of lung cancer, has demonstrated high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Early detection of lung cancer significantly increases survival rates and reduces healthcare costs. bioAffinity grew Q2 2024 orders for CyPath® Lung by 217% over Q1, reflecting the company’s effective sales strategy and increasing market demand. In October 2024, bioAffinity secured a U.S. Federal Supply Schedule contract for CyPath® Lung, making the test available to U.S. veterans and federal health service patients, which could further accelerate sales growth in the quarters ahead. Approximately 8,000 veterans are diagnosed and treated for lung cancer annually, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The lung cancer worldwide diagnostics market was valued at $4.7 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a 6.5% CAGR through 2030. The Company’s innovative flow cytometry platform, supported by AI-driven data analysis, is also being developed for noninvasive diagnosis of COPD and asthma—two markets expected to reach $8.2 billion by 2027. With growing sales, a highly experienced leadership team, robust patent portfolio, and 35% insider ownership, bioAffinity Technologies presents a compelling opportunity as it capitalizes on multi-billion-dollar opportunities.
