Rarecyte Selected for The Wellcome Leap in Utero Program; Will Utilize its Rare Cell Liquid Biopsy Platform to Perform Breakthrough Research to Decrease Stillbirth Rates Worldwide
Seattle, WA, November 14, 2022 – RareCyte, Inc., (“RareCyte” or “The Company”) a leading provider of Precision Biology products and services has been selected by Wellcome Leap to participate in the $50M In Utero program to create the scalable capacity to measure, model and predict gestational development, to achieve the goal of reducing global stillbirth rates by half. RareCyte will join world renowned researchers in pursuing this ambitious goal.
RareCyte will utilize its proven rare cell platform to perform novel non-invasive characterization of the placenta to create a foundational molecular data set for modeling and predicting gestational development. This will be accomplished using the AccuCyte®/CyteFinder® technology which has been proven to robustly identify, isolate and sequence rare placental cells (circulating trophoblasts) from maternal blood.
