Nashville – Oncocyte Corp. has officially announced its rebranding to Insight Molecular Diagnostics Inc. (iMDx) and is relocating its headquarters from Irvine, California, to Nashville, Tennessee. This transition marks a significant shift in the company’s focus, aiming to expand beyond oncology and into the realm of transplant medicine.

The new initiatives highlighted by iMDx represent a strategic pivot that emphasizes enhancing the diagnostic tools available to doctors, laboratory technicians, and researchers, ultimately aiming to improve patient care. The decision to move the headquarters to Nashville is bolstered by the city’s reputation as a burgeoning hub for healthcare innovation, which is home to the company’s CLIA-certified laboratory.
Key elements of this rebranding and relocation include a renewed focus on diagnostic and molecular testing for various medical fields, particularly in transplant medicine. The company plans to unify its transplant diagnostics under the GraftAssure brand, retiring the formerly used VitaGraft name. This change reflects a comprehensive approach to providing advanced diagnostics specifically tailored for transplant patients, an area recognized for significant growth potential.

In addition, iMDx aims to develop a molecular diagnostic kit that enhances testing access for kidney transplant patients. The target market for transplant rejection testing is estimated at $1 billion, representing a substantial opportunity for the company as it moves forward.
The rebranding to Insight Molecular Diagnostics leverages existing rights to the name Insight Genetics, which iMDx acquired in 2020. The company will continue to operate its laboratory and research center in Göttingen, Germany, while establishing its new headquarters in Nashville.
According to Andrea James, the CFO of iMDx, the transitions underway symbolize the beginning of a value-creation journey that is expected to enhance operational efficiency and market presence across various medical fields. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, iMDx is committed to pursuing innovations and partnerships that align with its operational strategy.
Nashville’s increasing concentration of healthcare talent and innovation resources stands to benefit iMDx significantly as it transitions into these new phases. The new iMDx logo proudly displays DNA banding patterns, embodying the company’s commitment to a healthcare provider-centric philosophy focused on delivering advanced diagnostic solutions.
Overall, the recent changes position iMDx to take significant strides in the market, enhancing its offerings to meet a broader range of medical needs while also aiming for greater operational efficiencies.
