Concert Genetics Completes Growth Financing

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Concert Genetics, Inc., announced today it has completed a growth capital financing round with a structured facility led by Deerfield Management.

The funds will be deployed to support Concert's mission of advancing precision medicine by providing the digital infrastructure for reliable and efficient management of genetic testing.

"The Concert team has assembled a remarkable combination of market-leading customers, proprietary data, and a software platform that connects stakeholders across the precision medicine landscape," said Adam Grossman, Partner at Deerfield Management. "We are pleased to provide the capital Concert needs to expand its offering and to increase its impact in the industry."

Concert's software platform is used by thousands of clinicians and leading hospitals nationwide to navigate the cost and complexity of genetic test selection, ordering, and results retrieval.
