About MoleculeDx

We’re on a mission to make early liver cancer detection as routine as a cholesterol test.

 

Our Mission

Built Around One Uncomfortable Truth

Every year, over 30,000 Americans die from liver cancer. The majority of those deaths were potentially preventable — not because we lack treatment options, but because the cancers were found too late to treat.

MoleculeDx was founded to close this gap. We combined next-generation genomic sequencing with clinical-grade AI to create a blood test that’s simple enough for any at-risk patient to use, accurate enough for physicians to trust, and affordable enough for widespread adoption.

Our Fusion-detect™ platform doesn’t just screen — it catches cancers at the stage when treatment can still save lives.

The Science

Why Fusion Genes?

When liver cells become cancerous, they produce characteristic fusion gene events — chromosomal rearrangements that generate novel protein sequences. These are detectable in the blood years before a tumor is visible on imaging.

 

Fusion Gene Biomarkers

Our test identifies specific chromosomal fusion events in circulating tumor DNA — a molecular fingerprint that is highly specific to hepatocellular carcinoma.

AI Classification Engine

Our Fusion-detect™ AI is trained on 50,000+ clinical samples. It classifies results with 96.7% accuracy, removing the subjectivity that plagues many diagnostic tests.

CLIA-Certified Laboratory

All samples are processed in our CLIA-certified laboratory under strict federal standards. Every result is reviewed by a licensed clinical pathologist before release.
