MultiplexDX Receives €176 000 Grant from the Slovak Ministry of Education

It is amazing how MultiplexDX is developing from a small startup into a truly influential company, capable of shaking up the old biotech market with its revolutionary innovations. Although it is less than 2 years since its founding, MultiplexDX has won more than 15 prestigious awards, grants, and coveted placements in special programs as well as significant media and investor attention. This pattern of success continued this summer when MultiplexDX received a €176 000 grant from the Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic.

Dr. Peter Kilian, founder and COO of MultiplexDX, comments:

"It was a very pleasant surprise for us to get this significant support from the government. We are proud to be chosen from more than 270 projects and very thankful for this great opportunity! With such a substantial support, both from the government and private investors from around the world, we will do our best to bring MultiplexDX innovations to the market as soon as possible and help thousands of people to beat cancer!"

This governmental grant will also help to approach key opinion leaders (oncologists) and medical students who need the information about the latest oncology diagnostic opportunities for their work. The MultiplexDX team would like to emphasize the importance of personalized diagnostics and make an educational video about the origin of cancer, the importance of biomarkers in tumor identification and characterization, conventional and state-of-the-art diagnostic methods and other important topics. That's is a nice way not only to educate the industry professionals but also to build up the trustful partnership relations in the future.
