Read the SEC filingCompany Overview
Ignite Proteomics is a molecular diagnostics and biopharma services company built on Reverse Phase Protein Array (RPPA) technology. RPPA measures the activated proteome: the proteins and phosphoproteins that determine how a tumor behaves and how it responds to therapy. Genomic tests infer what a tumor might do. Ignite’s assay measures what it is actually doing, which gives oncologists a functional, protein-level basis for selecting treatment.
The company serves two markets from one platform. Its CLIA/CAP-certified laboratory delivers a commercial assay for advanced breast cancer that maps biomarkers to FDA-approved therapies. For biopharma partners, Ignite provides RPPA and laser-capture microdissection services that support drug development from discovery through clinical trials. Together, these lines pair recurring clinical testing revenue with higher-value pharma partnerships.
As a public company, Ignite intends to scale commercial adoption, extend the assay menu beyond breast cancer, and grow its biopharma services pipeline.
