 PROFILE
For Digene, it's all about women. The firm is primarily focused on developing DNA and RNA tests that screen for diseases afflicting women. Using its Hybrid Capture technology, Digene has developed an FDA-approved test for the detection of human papillomavirus (linked to cervical cancer) and currently markets the test worldwide -- directly in the US; through subsidiaries and a distribution agreement with Abbott Laboratories internationally. Digene has also developed its Hybrid Capture tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and hepatitis (blood viruses are another diagnostic focus). Through a general partnership, Evan Jones (chairman and CEO) and Charles Fleischman (COO and CFO) own almost 40% of the company.
