Competitive Landscape
Circulogene competes in the crowded liquid biopsy CGP market against leaders like Guardant Health (Guardant360) and Foundation Medicine (FoundationOne Liquid CDx). Its differentiation lies in combined DNA/RNA/PD-L1 profiling and the LungLifeAI nodule test, but it faces competitors in early lung cancer detection (e.g., Freenome, Grail).
