PathoGene: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

PathoGene, Inc. is a private, seed-stage precision MedTech startup headquartered in Los Angeles, with R&D operations located in Monrovia, California. We are developing a sample-to-answer in vitro diagnostic medical device that detects and identifies all known microscopic human pathogens along with their antimicrobial resistance profiles on a single 6-hour test panel. To do this, we leverage robotic automation, third-generation DNA and RNA sequencing, and cloud computing technologies to report a molecular diagnosis to care providers and disease surveillance systems in real-time. Our goal is to deliver the necessary diagnostic tools for doctors and medical staff to make optimal treatment decisions that can ultimately improve public health as a whole, and we believe that our sample-to-answer technology can become the global standard of care for diagnosing infectious diseases.

About FundedIQ's PathoGene Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for PathoGene is left off this page rather than filled in.
