Inivata: non-invasive tumour analysis from circulating DNA
Career Opportunities at Inivata Ltd, Cambridge, UK
Inivata is a dynamic new clinical cancer genomics company, based on the
Cambridge Biomedical Campus, which is harnessing the emerging potential of
circulating DNA analysis to improve testing and treatment for oncologists and their
patients.
Unlike conventional invasive biopsies, Inivata detects and analyses genomic material
from a cancer patient’s cell-free, circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) which can be
collected through a simple blood sample. This non-invasive approach – a ‘liquid
biopsy’ – offers a revolution in how cancer is detected, monitored and treated.
