Epic was founded in 2008, and technology was licensed from Scripps Research Institute, based on inventions made by Peter Kuhn's lab at Scripps.[1][1] The company's approach involves getting a blood sample, removing red blood cells, putting the remaining cells on a microscope slide, staining the cells with antibodies for a few cancer markers, imaging the slide, then using proprietary image analysis software that counts the stained cells and analyzes the cells based on morphophology and other factors; as of 2014 it took the software around two and a half hours to analyze a single slide; around 12 slides are generated from a standard 7.5 mL blood sample. [2] As of 2014 it was offering its analysis services to drug companies as a way to measure outcomes in clinical trials.[3] David Nelson was the first President and CEO and in 2012 Epic raised $13M in 2012 from Domain Associates, Roche Venture Fund and Pfizer Venture Investments.[4] By 2014 Murali Prahalad was president and CEO and in July of that year the company raised an additional $30M.[5] In April 2017, Epic raised another $40 million and as of that date had raise a total of $85.5 million.[6] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Bigelow|first1=Bruce|title=Xconomist of the Week: Peter Kuhn on Detecting Circulating Tumor Cells|url=http://www.xconomy.com/san-diego/2012/02/16/xconomist-of-the-week-peter-kuhn-on-detecting-circulating-tumor-cells/?single_page=true|work=Xconomy|date=16 February 2012}} 2. ^{{cite news |first=Nicholette |last=Zeliadt |title= Capturing Cancer Cells on the Move: Three approaches for isolating and characterizing rare tumor cells circulating in the bloodstream Cancer Treatment from Just a Blood Sample |date=April 1, 2014 |publisher=The Scientist |url=http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/39503/title/Capturing-Cancer-Cells-on-the-Move/}} 3. ^{{cite news |first=Lauren |last=Gravitz |title= Personalized Cancer Treatment from Just a Blood Sample |date=February 21, 2014 |publisher=Discover Magazine |url=http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/crux/2014/02/21/personalized-cancer-treament-from-just-a-blood-sample/#.VBC-zfmwJBF}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Fikes|first1=Bradley J.|title=Epic Sciences raises $13 million|url=http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-epic-sciences-raises-13-million-2012nov13-story.html|work=San Diego Union Tribune|date=November 13, 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Fikes|first1=Bradley J.|title=Epic Sciences raises $30 million|url=http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/biotech/sdut-epic-sciences-lucier-2014jul30-story.html|work=San Diego Union Tribune|date=July 30, 2014}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://medcitynews.com/2017/04/biopharma-just-cant-get-enough-epic-sciences/|title=Biopharma just can't get enough of Epic Sciences - MedCity News|website=medcitynews.com|language=en-US|access-date=2017-04-28}} External links
