Biodesix Advances Two Complementary Approaches to Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) Monitoring

LOUISVILLE, Colo., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading diagnostics solutions company, today announced strategic progress in two collaborative programs for tumor-informed and tumor-naïve Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) solutions intended to support cancer centers and clinical laboratories. Both solutions detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), the tumor DNA that a cancer sheds into the blood, to assess whether disease remains or is returning after treatment. The tumor-informed solution is the result of a multi-year collaboration with Bio-Rad Laboratories. The tumor-naïve solution is a newly launched program with Thermo Fisher Scientific that extends a collaboration for companion diagnostic validation and other development work. Both approaches will be validated by Biodesix in collaboration with key investigators at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and are designed to run on partner platforms already installed in laboratories around the world.
