EDMONTON, Alberta, Oct. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Metabolomic Technologies Inc. (MTI), a Canadian-based company developing metabolomics-based in vitro diagnostics today announced the successful completion of a $4.2 million dollar Series A raise.

The Company's lead product, PolypDxtm, is the world's first and only urine test for colorectal cancer screening. Developed in Canada, and patented globally, PolypDxtm is currently being assessed by the Alberta provincial health system in Canada as a way to increase overall screening efforts to help manage the disease of colorectal cancer.

"This injection of capital supports our strategic initiatives and validates our ability to attract leading U.S. healthcare investors," stated Dr. David Chang, MTI's Chief Executive Officer. "While we anticipate the need to secure additional funds in the future, we are eager to achieve our goal to provide PolypDxtm to patients across the globe."
