This investment values Insighta at US$200 million and underscores Tencent’s endeavor to advancing AI-powered innovations in healthcare..
领先的健康科学公司Prenetics Global Limited今天宣布,腾讯已向总部位于香港的早期癌症检测公司Insighta投资3000万美元。这项投资对Insighta的估值为2亿美元,突显了腾讯努力推进人工智能推动的医疗创新。。
Following the transaction, Prenetics’ stake in Insighta will be reduced from 50% to 35%. Insighta’s co-founders will retain their 50% shareholding. As part of the agreement, Prenetics has received US$30 million in cash from the sale of secondary shares to Tencent, boosting its pro forma cash and other current short-term assets1 to over US$90 million at closing of the transaction.
交易完成后,Prenetics在Insighta的持股比例将从50%降至35%。Insighta的联合创始人将保留其50%的股权。作为协议的一部分,Prenetics从向腾讯出售二级股中获得了3000万美元的现金,在交易结束时,其形式现金和其他当前短期资产1增至9000多万美元。

腾讯还将获得Insighta董事会的席位,由腾讯医疗总裁Alexander Ng担任。。
Insighta’s early cancer detection platform is powered by its proprietary FRAGMA technology, a cutting-edge system designed to detect DNA methylation aberrations in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in bodily fluids such as blood. By identifying specific fragment patterns associated with cancer cells, FRAGMA enables non-invasive, highly accurate early epigenetics-based detection of multiple cancers.
Insighta的早期癌症检测平台由其专有的FRAGMA技术提供支持,该技术是一种尖端系统,旨在检测血液等体液中无细胞DNA(cfDNA)中的DNA甲基化畸变。通过鉴定与癌细胞相关的特定片段模式,FRAGMA能够对多种癌症进行非侵入性,高度准确的基于早期表观遗传学的检测。
Epigenetics is the study of biochemical modifications of the genome without changes in DNA sequences. This ingenious approach in detecting fragmented DNA signatures allows the cost-effective detection of cancer, making FRAGMA a crucial innovation in cancer detection..
表观遗传学是在不改变DNA序列的情况下对基因组进行生化修饰的研究。这种检测片段化DNA特征的巧妙方法可以经济高效地检测癌症,使FRAGMA成为癌症检测的关键创新。。
Insighta has commenced clinical trials in Mainland China, focusing initially on liver cancer, and will soon expand to include lung cancer detection. Insighta is also actively developing tests for additional cancer types, and plans on updating as appropriate.
Insighta已在中国大陆开始临床试验,最初专注于肝癌,并将很快扩展到肺癌检测。Insighta还积极开发针对其他癌症类型的测试,并计划酌情更新。
With US$80 million in cash reserves, Insighta is well-capitalized to fund these trials and expedite the commercialization of its revolutionary cancer detection technology in the next few years.
Insighta拥有8000万美元的现金储备,资金充足,可以为这些试验提供资金,并在未来几年加速其革命性癌症检测技术的商业化。
“We are excited to welcome Tencent as a strategic investor,” said Professor Allen Chan, co-founder of Insighta. “Their expertise in AI, combined with our proprietary FRAGMA technology, positions us to make significant strides in improving early cancer diagnosis, which can greatly enhance patient outcomes worldwide.”.
Insighta联合创始人艾伦·陈教授表示:“我们很高兴欢迎腾讯成为战略投资者。”。“他们在人工智能方面的专业知识,加上我们专有的FRAGMA技术,使我们能够在改善早期癌症诊断方面取得重大进展,这可以大大提高全球患者的预后。”。
Tencent’s robust AI resources and healthcare expertise are expected to propel Insighta’s technological advancements even further. This is conducive to facilitating the widespread application of FRAGMA technology in early screening for multiple types of cancer, thereby improving prevention strategies for cancer..
腾讯强大的人工智能资源和医疗保健专业知识有望进一步推动Insighta的技术进步。这有助于促进FRAGMA技术在多种癌症早期筛查中的广泛应用,从而改进癌症的预防策略。。
