History of Biodesix

biodesix logo

2006 The Origin of Biodesix

Biodesix was founded in 2006 in Boulder, Colorado by David Brunel, Rob Cawthorn, and Heinrich Roder, PhD. David Brunel, previously the co-founder and President of SomaLogic, was named the new President and CEO of Biodesix.

The name Biodesix started with the word biodesics, which is analogous to “Geodesics”, a term, describing the shortest path between two points on the Earth’s surface. From the very beginning, the company aspired to accelerate and streamline diagnostic processes in complex disease states.

2007 The Biodesix Early Mission: To Become the Leader in Proteomics

The initial Biodesix mission was to become the leading provider of proteomic mass spectrometry-based clinical diagnostics. At that time, Biodesix was developing diagnostic tools for early and minimally-invasive detection of pan-cancer, with the goal of stratifying patient populations to personalized treatment protocols.

Biodesix announces a collaborative agreement with Bruker Daltonics to support Biodesix’ VeriStrat diagnostic test as well as future diagnostic tests based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry.

2014 Biodesix Shifts Focus to Lung Cancer

Biodesix announces the first prospective biomarker-stratified validation study in LANCET ONCOLOGY. The study highlights how VeriStrat® can robustly predict differential treatment outcomes for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

2016 Biodesix Takes a Novel Multi-Omic Approach to Diagnostic Testing

Physicians are now able to easily order both GeneStrat® and VeriStrat® for their patients, in order to receive valuable genomic and proteomic insights from just one simple blood draw. The combination of the tests equips physicians with comprehensive biological information about the nature of the patient’s tumor and the health of the immune system, in order to better understand cancer aggressiveness and treatment options.

2016 Biodesix’s 2nd New York State CLEP Approval

Biodesix receives their second Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program approval with certification for the GeneStrat® ddPCR Test from the New York State Department of Health’s Wadsworth Center.
