Company Profile:

Indi is creating powerful new tools to help physicians diagnose complex diseases with a non-invasive blood test. By measuring multiple biomarkers that serve as sentinels of disease – we are creating tests, such as Xpresys® Lung, that help physicians diagnose disease states with greater accuracy.

Xpresys Lung is the first liquid biopsy that provides non-invasive, objective information for the assessment of pulmonary nodules. When combined with current clinical assessment, Xpresys Lung may be able to help reduce unnecessary invasive procedures on benign nodules. In doing so, Xpresys Lung meets the Indi’s objectives to improve patient outcomes, reduce complications, and reduce costs to the healthcare system.
