Colorectal cancer survival rates and health economics demonstrate a clear need for #earlydetection
At Epify we believe we can lead change and beat cancer with #epigeneticbiomarkers

The 5-year survival rates are obvious, early detection saves lives. Money can also be saved when investing in #cancerscreening and #earlydetection

#epigenetics, epi (=on top) of genetics. There is more than genetics and proteomics, the next generation of biomarkers will be based on epigenetic mechanisms.
The liquid biopsy market continues to grow. With a simple blood draw, various cancers can be diagnosed early.

Epigenetic biomarkers are the most promising response to the complexity of diseases such as cancer. The time to commercialize academically discovered epigenetic biomarkers to clinical practice is now.
We are pleased to officially announce our patent filing in the colorectal cancer (CRC) program, claiming multiple epigenetic biomarkers for a broad range of applications including tissue, blood and stool.

Epify thrives on virtual meetings. We rarely miss out on our weekly team meetings.
How?
-It is our time with the team, together.
-We have our routine and avoid calendar conflicts.
-We never take longer than 1 hour.
Thank you team Epify for being so committed!
Did you know that April is #NationalCancerControlMonth ?
Cancer risk can be reduced. Avoiding tobacco, protecting skin, limiting alcohol intake and keeping a healthy diet and weight can help lowering risk.
The journey to good health is not always easy, but it is rewarding. Start or keep up with healthy lifestyle choice but also accept invitations for #cancerscreenings.
#worldhealthday
At Epify we celebrate each other during #internationalwomensday2021
We embrace the diversity that we enjoy because of the flexibility and adaptability that we cherish.
Early #cancer#diagnosis leads to better patient outcomes. The USPSTF has now published a draft recommendation to start #colorectalcancer screening at age 45 instead of 50: https://t.co/ktTxrMWir7
