The company will use the funds to commercialize a biomarker for colon cancer. Applied Proteomics’ system looks at activity patterns in the proteins encoded by a person’s genome rather than just the genome alone to detect early signs of cancer.

The $28 million contribution came from Genting Berhad, an investment holding company in Malaysia, as well as existing investors.
