About Us

Pioneers in precision genomics

Foresight Diagnostics was founded by four Stanford University physicians and scientists who sought to develop high-performing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays by improving the limits of detection through innovative techniques and enhanced bioinformatics. Our first product, Foresight CLARITY™, utilizes a proprietary and patented phased variant (PV) detection method to improve the accuracy of ctDNA tests and minimal residual disease (MRD) measurement.
