Description

At CancerIQ, our technology is expanding access to precision cancer prevention, early detection & treatment to more patient populations. We build software and design services that make it easy for health systems to use genetic information to get ahead of cancer at scale. Our best-in-class, science-based platform is proven to double genetic counseling service capacity, quadruple genetic testing uptake & significantly improve screening compliance. To date, CancerIQ has raised over $26 million to deliver on our mission, with our Series B funding round led by Merck Global Health Innovation Fund and Amgen Ventures.

Our team is made up of a committed, all-in group of people who are as driven to ending cancer as we know it as the providers and patients we serve. This has led to a growing network of over 200 clinical locations across the country, with a robust ecosystem of partners in the diagnostic and genomics space behind us. But we're committed to scaling quickly – in this era of tremendous progress against cancer, we're looking for people to be just as tremendously committed to their work at CancerIQ.
