Why join ClearNote Health?

This could be huge if ClearNote Health, a San Diego diagnostics company, can turn a simple DNA blood test into an early warning for cancers that have few detection options today. Its epigenomic platform already targets pancreatic and ovarian cancer, and a $52M Series D with Pathology Asia Holdings and Sandy Weill among the backers lifts total funding to $122M.

JustBacked's take, based on ClearNote Health's own site and its funding and hiring data.
