BostonGene, a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-based molecular and immune profiling solutions, NEC Corporation, a leader in IT, network and AI technologies, and Japan Industrial Partners, a leading Tokyo-based private equity firm, have announced the formation of BostonGene Japan Inc., a Tokyo-based joint venture aimed at advancing personalised medicine and dramatically improving patient outcomes.

The new company will utilise BostonGene's high-complexity molecular technology and advanced biocomputational algorithms, including BostonGene Tumor Portrait tests, to accelerate the development and validation of novel precision medicine approaches.

BostonGene's AI-powered cloud-based solutions, bioinformatics capabilities, analytical tools, and advanced next-generation molecular and immune profiling provide a comprehensive view of a cancer patient at a molecular level and identify actionable targets to make evidence-based treatment decisions.
