Proteomics Secures $4.5M to Launch Diagnostic Tests in US and Australia, Targets Major Health Markets
  • This strategic focus on diverse markets positions Proteomics to meet significant healthcare needs and capitalize on the growing demand for effective diagnostic solutions.

  • With established regulatory pathways and a proprietary Promarker engine for future test development, Proteomics is well-positioned for significant growth in 2025.

  • Dr. Richard Lipscombe, the managing director, emphasized that this funding will enable the introduction of a comprehensive suite of diagnostic tests.

  • The annual cost of managing a dialysis patient is approximately $72,000, contributing to an estimated $130 billion annual expense for the US medical industry.

  • Proteomics International Laboratories has successfully secured $4.5 million in funding to accelerate the launch of its diagnostic tests in the United States and Australia.

  • The company has established certified testing laboratories in both Australia and the US, and is actively pursuing insurance reimbursement and government listings for its tests.

  • Proteomics aims to address multiple markets, including the 190 million women affected by endometriosis and up to 20% of Westerners suffering from chronic acid reflux, a significant risk factor for oesophageal cancer.

  • Globally, 537 million adults live with diabetes, and one in three of these individuals also suffers from chronic kidney disease, which can lead to costly renal failure and dialysis.

  • The need for Proteomics' testing solutions is underscored by the varying testing requirements for diabetes patients, with low-risk individuals needing only one annual test and high-risk patients requiring quarterly testing.

  • Each Promarker test is projected to have a gross margin of up to 70%, with initial demand expected to reach between 30,000 and 80,000 tests per year in both Australia and the US.

  • Proteomics plans to target all GP clinics in Australia, where 96% of surveyed clinics indicated a likelihood of using the PromarkerD test, supported by a patient-driven awareness campaign.

  • Pricing for the Promarker tests starts at $245 in Australia for PromarkerD and can reach up to $1,500 for more complex tests in the US.
