XDx, Inc.
is a molecular diagnostics company focused on the discovery, development and
commercialization of noninvasive gene expression-based tests for the monitoring
of transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases. The company has developed a proprietary new
method for noninvasively monitoring immune system activity by measuring gene
expression in a patient’s peripheral blood. This work is the basis for AlloMap®
molecular expression testing, which provides transplant physicians with a new
tool to aid in the identification of the probability of acute cellular
rejection for postcardiac transplant patient
management. Join us to learn about the company,
its product, and future plans.
Pierre Cassigneul is the president and chief
executive officer for XDx. Mr.
Cassigneul has more than 20 years of senior management experience in the
healthcare and medical device industries, both in Europe and
the United States,
including the global launch of several successful high-tech products. He joined XDx from the consulting firm, Stone
