Company to Showcase Its Noninvasive RNA-based Technology Platform Designed to Improve Diagnostic Tools for Gastrointestinal Health
ST LOUIS, MO – Oct. 5, 2023 – Geneoscopy Inc., a life sciences company focused on developing diagnostic tests for gastrointestinal health, will present at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting in Vancouver, Canada, Oct. 20-25, highlighting how its novel platform technology is being used to develop noninvasive diagnostic and precision medicine tools for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The company will also feature its technology at booth #908.

“We are excited about this year’s ACG Scientific Meeting and look forward to sharing the results of our studies with the gastrointestinal (GI) community,” said Erica Barnell, Geneoscopy’s Chief Science and Medical Officer. “We firmly believe that our technology addresses the pressing need for expanded access to more convenient and accurate screening options for CRC and will enable a precision medicine approach to GI disease management and treatment.”
Geneoscopy’s research and development efforts come at a critical time when 60-70 million Americans suffer from GI diseases, including CRC and IBD. Despite declining incidence in the overall population, CRC is increasing amongst individuals under 55 and shifting to a more advanced disease. This trend should motivate everyone 45 and older to get screened. Additionally, despite a significant focus on improving care for the estimated 2.9M people diagnosed with IBD, clinicians and patients lack effective noninvasive tools for therapy selection and disease monitoring.
Geneoscopy is leveraging its novel RNA-based technology platform to address these challenges to develop noninvasive diagnostic and precision medicine tools for GI diseases. The company’s at-home colorectal cancer screening test is designed to detect high-risk precancerous lesions (advanced adenomas) and CRC in average-risk individuals. It received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Breakthrough Device designation in 2020 and has been submitted to the FDA for Premarket Approval.
“Geneoscopy is focused on providing innovative screening and diagnostic tests to help empower patients and providers to transform gastrointestinal health,” said Andrew Barnell, CEO of Geneoscopy. “Given the promise of our technology, we are confident that our pipeline of tests can address gaps in care for patients who critically need noninvasive diagnostics solutions. We want to meet patients where they are with accessible, convenient, and highly accurate tools that fit into their busy lives.”
