No Finders’ fees were payable on the private placement. In conjunction with the private round of financing, the Company was also successful in securing a non-dilutive line of credit up to $235,000 through its wholly owned subsidiary BioMark Diagnostic Solutions Inc. in Quebec City. The Company intends to use the $1.5 million to seek lab accreditation, perform an assay validation and verification study, participate in a large-scale lung cancer screening program in Quebec, and perform business development activities in the US.

  • In an effort to expand its lung cancer screening program to international cancer centres, BioMark continued dialogue with the French group TransDiag in May 2022.

TransDiag has also identified 3 potential French investigators and 2 potential labs that would be interested in working with BioMark on a screening program for early lung cancer which can commence in September should the groups decide to collaborate.

  • BioMark’s business development advisor for Europe and Middle East is exploring potential partnerships in Qatar with various medical institutions and Health Ministry on setting up clinical collaborations and technology development capacity related to early diagnosis and prevention solutions. Talks are at a preliminary stage and a team is working to facilitate further dialogue and meetings.

  • As part of it previously announced retrospective study, BioMark is collaborating with TMIC to complete analysis of about 1000 plasma samples, which also includes other lung diseases, covid cases and other cancers. The samples have been analysed and now the first data readout is expected by early to mid-June 2022. The company will be reviewing the data to develop the necessary validation and verification documentation for its Quebec based lab certification slated for late 2022/early 2033.

  • BioMark will participate at the BIO International Convention 2022, which will be held June 13-16, 2022, in San Diego, CA.
