Key Takeaways

  • Tempus AI expands GenoPredicta WGS assay commercialization for hematologic cancer profiling.
  • TEM extends Gilead partnership to boost oncology R&D using AI-driven Lens platform insights.
  • TEM partners on pediatric pAML registry, using AI tools to centralize data and aid research.

Tempus AI, Inc. (TEM - Free Report) and Predicta Biosciences have expanded the commercialization of GenoPredicta, a co-branded whole-genome sequencing (WGS) assay designed for comprehensive genomic profiling of hematologic cancers and measurable residual disease monitoring. By integrating WGS with flow cytometry, the assay delivers highly sensitive and detailed cancer genome analysis.

According to Nova One Advisor, the global oncology market is witnessing steady growth, driven by rising cancer incidences linked to increased alcohol and tobacco consumption. The growing demand for advanced diagnostics and treatments, along with awareness initiatives by governments and non-profit organizations, continues to support market expansion. The market is projected to reach approximately $483.45 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 7.11% from 2026 to 2035.

Reflecting this trend, Tempus AI has extended its multi-year partnership with Gilead Sciences (GILD - Free Report) to advance oncology R&D. The collaboration leverages Tempus’ multimodal data and AI-powered Lens platform to enhance trial design, biomarker development, and real-world evidence generation across multiple cancer indications.

Further strengthening its position in precision oncology, Tempus AI has partnered with Blood Cancer United to develop a patient-centric, real-world registry for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML), a rare and aggressive cancer. This initiative utilizes olivia, TEM’s AI-enabled health concierge app, alongside the Lens platform, to centralize patient data and generate actionable insights for research and clinical advancement.
