Epic Sciences

Epic Sciences is a San Diego, California clinical diagnostics company founded in 2008 that develops blood-based "liquid biopsy" tests for oncology. Its platform, licensed from the Peter Kuhn laboratory at Scripps Research, isolates and characterizes rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from whole blood using specialized assays and digital pathology algorithms, and is paired with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing to inform treatment selection and track how a tumor evolves. Its lead product, DefineMBC, is a comprehensive blood biopsy for metastatic breast cancer whose 56-gene ctDNA panel received Medicare coverage in April 2023. The company also runs its platform as a service for pharmaceutical partners measuring outcomes in clinical trials, and in 2020 partnered with Predicine to combine CTC and ctDNA analysis in a single offering. Epic Sciences is privately held and has raised roughly $204M across seven rounds through a Series G in April 2023. It is a laboratory diagnostics provider, not a software vendor, and publishes no public API, developer program, SDK or machine-readable specification.

Epic Sciences is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Health Care, Diagnostics, Oncology, and Life Sciences.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.

  detail: epicsciences.com — the site every third-party record still lists as the company website — serves a blanket HTTP
    301 to an unrelated third-party domain (awaji-musicisland.com) on every path including /robots.txt and every /.well-known/
    location, and the domain publishes no MX, SPF, DMARC, CAA or DNSSEC records, so there is no live Epic Sciences web presence
    left to profile, let alone a developer surface.
