Company patents
Foundation Medicine, Inc.
Foundation Medicine, Inc. demonstrates a strong and growing commitment to data-driven healthcare, with Healthcare Informatics emerging as a key focus, showing a remarkable 285.7% year-over-year growth in 2025, now representing 44.1% of its portfolio. While its core Genetic & Microbiological Assays (67.1% of portfolio) saw a significant surge in 2025 with 143.8% YoY growth, the notable decline in patenting activity so far in 2026 across several categories like Peptides & Proteins (-78.6% YoY) and Therapeutic Activity (Pharma) (-83.3% YoY) suggests a strategic shift away from direct therapeutic development towards diagnostic and data analysis tools.

Computational methods and systems for analyzing biological data (e.g., genomic, proteomic, clinical) to diagnose diseases, predict patient prognosis, assess treatment response, or stratify patients for therapy.
Methods and compositions for identifying, quantifying, or characterizing specific biological molecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins, metabolites, antibodies) or microbial species, often for diagnostic, prognostic, or quality control applications.
Identification and measurement of specific nucleic acid sequences (DNA, RNA), their expression levels, or epigenetic modifications (e.g., methylation) as indicators for disease presence, progression, risk, or treatment response.
Computational techniques and algorithms for processing, aligning, and interpreting raw biological sequence data (DNA, RNA, protein), including identifying genetic variations, classifying organisms, or predicting sequence attributes.
Development of therapeutic approaches involving the genetic modification of cells (e.g., T cells, stem cells, macrophages) or the use of viral/non-viral vectors to deliver genetic material for disease treatment.
Therapeutic interventions that target immune checkpoint pathways to either enhance or suppress immune responses, often used in cancer immunotherapy or autoimmune diseases.
Methods and reagents designed to improve the specificity, efficiency, or yield of nucleic acid capture, ligation, amplification, or library preparation steps, particularly for sequencing applications or quantitative analysis.
Methods and systems for combining and analyzing diverse biological datasets (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) to uncover complex biological relationships, disease mechanisms, or temporal trajectories.
Self-contained or modular devices designed to automate and integrate multiple steps of molecular diagnostic assays, from sample preparation to result interpretation, often for point-of-care or high-throughput applications.
Utilizing machine learning, particularly deep learning, to analyze medical data such as images, sensor readings, or physiological signals for disease prediction, diagnosis, or treatment assessment.
Applying computational methods, often involving machine learning and multiomics data, to design, analyze, and understand biomolecules, genetic sequences, or complex biological systems.
Digital platforms and systems that deliver tailored therapeutic interventions, guidance, or recommendations to patients based on their individual health data, biometric feedback, and computational models (e.g., AI/ML, physiological simulations).
Therapeutic approaches involving the use of living cells, often genetically modified or ex vivo activated, to treat diseases, particularly cancer, by modulating immune responses or replacing damaged cells.
Systems and methods for non-invasive or minimally invasive collection and analysis of physiological data (e.g., blood pressure, electrolytes, genetic markers, B cell repertoire) to assess patient health status, screen for conditions, or aid in diagnosis.
