RBVC Joins Variantyx’s $26 Million Series C Funding Round

Robert Bosch Venture Capital (RBVC), the corporate venture capital company of the Bosch Group, has completed an investment in Variantyx. Variantyx and Robert-Bosch Hospital join forces to improve personalized oncology treatment with plans to incorporate the Variantyx solution into the oncology treatment process. Variantyx provides clinicians with advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment recommendations for oncology patients based on their unique genetic makeup.

“For several years the Robert-Bosch Hospital, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, and the Bosch Group have been joining forces to fight cancer,“ says Ingo Ramesohl, Managing Director of RBVC. “Variantyx’s solution is outstanding. Together, Variantyx and Bosch are eying to bring new research, diagnostics, and precision medicine to oncology patients and clinicians.“

The Variantyx proprietary platform and comprehensive data analysis enable a better understanding of each patient’s unique genetic composition, providing industry-leading diagnoses and personalized treatment recommendations. Their tests delve deep into the genetics of an individual, providing insights and analytics that no other diagnostic laboratory can deliver today. The company’s oncology solutions identify the unique genetic alterations in a patient’s tumor. Profiling these alterations helps predict the patient’s response to various therapies, enabling clinicians to provide the most effective personalized care for their patients.

“Partnering enables an entirely new approach to cancer treatment by analyzing the specifics of each patient and personalizing care to optimize their healthcare treatment,“ says Haim Neerman, co-Founder & CEO at Variantyx. “This opens the door for other areas of medical intervention to take a more innovative and individualized approach to treatment.“

The Robert Bosch Center for Tumor Diseases is part of the Robert Bosch Medical Research and focuses on improving the treatment of cancer patients. Patients at the Robert-Bosch Hospital are advised and treated in line with the latest research results. “Variantyx’s solution can very well complement the existing and established activities in tumor research to bring new research quickly to the patient. We are pleased to partner with Variantyx, utilizing their unique proprietary software to analyze data more precisely to create a more insightful approach to cancer therapy,“ says Helia Schönthaler, COO of Robert Bosch Medical Research.
