Kalamazoo, MI (PRWEB) January 11, 2016 -- Armune BioScience, Inc., a medical diagnostics company that is developing and commercializing proprietary blood tests for prostate, lung and breast cancers, announced today that the company has entered into a definitive agreement with Mavericks Capital retaining them as the Company’s advisor and investment bank.
In April of 2015, Armune BioScience launched Apifiny®, the only cancer specific, non-PSA blood test for the detection of prostate cancer.

Mavericks Capital and its elite group of partners and life-science advisors have a remarkable track record of helping to create shareholder value in promising life-science companies,” said David Esposito, President and Chief Executive Officer of Armune BioScience. “After successfully launching Apifiny, we are prepared to scale our commercial operations in the United States and beyond. In addition, we have several promising products to develop based on our proprietary autoantibody technology. We look forward to Mavericks Capital helping us realize the full potential of our business.”
“Mavericks Capital looks forward to working with the seasoned management team and board at Armune Bioscience to raise capital in order to scale the business and develop strategic partnerships with diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies,” said John Selig, Managing Partner of Mavericks Capital. “We believe Armune’s autoantibody technology has the potential to significantly improve cancer detection and enhance the outcomes of a broad range of cancer therapies.”
