The Company has a proven track record in delivering significant value to its pharmaceutical, academic and forensics customers. We are anticipating a highly productive collaboration.”

“The support of a firm of the caliber such as QuestMark, and the continued support of Domain, mark a great accomplishment for the GenVault team,” said David Wellis, Ph.D., CEO of GenVault. “The addition of this significant capital will enable expansion of our global sales and marketing programs, production, and ultimately, market penetration, in several multibillion dollar markets.

This milestone marks a gratifying endorsement of both GenVault’s novel technology, as well as recognition of an unusual opportunity to grow diverse industrial, academic and government markets worldwide.”

The company’s technology and business model meet a growing demand for reliable, sophisticated biosample management in industries where this is critical for accurate, cost effective processes and outcomes,” said James C. Blair, Ph.D., Partner at Domain Associates. “Our continued investment is worthy of this unique technologic and commercial opportunity.”
