Nanosphere

Nanosphere is dedicated to enhancing medicine by providing targeted molecular diagnostic tests that can lead to earlier disease detection, optimal patient treatment and improved healthcare economics. Nanosphere’s platform, the Verigene® System, enables clinicians to rapidly identify and treat the bacteria and viruses responsible for some of the most complex, costly and deadly infectious diseases. Headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, Nanosphere was founded in 1999 based upon technology developed at Northwestern University by Dr. Robert Letsinger and Dr. Chad Mirkin. In 2007, Nanosphere went public (NASDAQ: NSPH), and has remained committed to continued scientific discovery and innovation with more than 175 patents to its name. Currently, our test menu targets infections of the bloodstream, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. Nanosphere is now a Luminex company.
