Garth Selvey, Chairman, commented:

"We have made strong progress advancing our strategy this year through the validation of the Parsortix cell separation system by world class cancer centres. We have identified ovarian cancer for the first clinical application for the Parsortix system following a successful patient study with the Medical University of Vienna which demonstrated Parsortix's potential to identify ovarian cancer with high sensitivity and specificity where traditional techniques fail.  In the coming year, we are well funded to focus on the development of research use sales, and advance a large scale study in ovarian cancer to establish Parsortix as a diagnostic tool to enable clinicians to choose the most appropriate treatment thereby improving patient outcomes."
