The study included a large cohort of more than 4,800 patients over seven years diagnosed at UCSF.
Key Points:
- The study included a large cohort of more than 4,800 patients over seven years diagnosed at UCSF.
- In addition, the study found mNGS provided a definitive diagnosis for nearly 1 in 3 immunocompromised patients.
- Ultimately, Delve Neuro will enable more patients with potentially life-threatening neurological infections to benefit from faster, more comprehensive diagnoses.
- Prior to joining Delve Bio, Mr. Field served as Chief Commercial Officer at Clear Labs and IDbyDNA (acquired by Illumina).
