CIRCULOGENE, advancing precision medicine through molecular genetics testing, has entered into an international partnership with New Zealand-based CIRCULOGENE Asia Pacific Limited. The strategic business relationship expands the laboratory’s footprint across East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Oceana, including the countries of New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

“This agreement with industry experts in Auckland facilitates the expansion of our laboratory’s testing services internationally,” said CIRCULOGENE CEO Mike Mullen. “We are proud to make advanced cancer diagnostics more accessible to medical facilities, physicians and patients in the Asia-Pacific and other regions of the world, building on the success of earlier agreements.”

CIRCULOGENE previously announced an international licensing agreement with a strategic partner covering parts of Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

“This joint venture makes advanced molecular diagnostic testing available to oncology patients and their physicians across this entire region,” said Andrea J. Miller, Regional Manager of CIRCULOGENE Asia Pacific Limited. “Tumor status can be determined rapidly and accurately with CIRCULOGENE’s industry-leading, one-week turnaround times, helping physicians select the latest life-saving and life-extending therapeutics and clinical trials available to their patients.”
