Biocept Inc. has entered into a Preferred Provider Collaboration and Services Agreement with Oregon Health & Sciences University on behalf of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute.
The multiphase agreement grants OHSU the rights to commercially offer Biocept’s Target Selector liquid biopsy testing services exclusively throughout the state of Oregon. Additionally, Biocept and OHSU plan to engage in technology transfer, whereby OHSU will have the ability to use Target Selector assays in-house, and act as a secondary laboratory for Biocept’s research and testing activities.
Biocept and OHSU also plan to co-develop additional liquid biopsy assay technologies and platform capabilities including highly sensitive, multiplexed assay panels for molecular biomarker detection and assessment.
OHSU’s Knight Diagnostic Laboratories selected Biocept’s Target Selector platform after evaluating several commercially available and research-stage liquid biopsy technologies throughout the industry. Additional R&D and commercial pilot projects are anticipated under the agreement.
