Digene

A leader in molecular diagnostics, Digene develops, manufactures and markets proprietary DNA and RNA tests focused on women's cancers and infectious diseases. The company's flagship product, The Digene® HPV Test* (DNAwithPap® Test), is the only FDA–approved test for the human papillomavirus (HPV), the primary cause of cervical cancer. Rapidly emerging as a standard of practice in cervical cancer screening, the HPV test aids healthcare professionals in identifying women who are most at risk of having or developing cervical cancer, which today is the world's second–most–common type of cancer affecting women. Digene's product portfolio also includes DNA tests for the detection of other sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, as well as tests for blood viruses. Through its own staff or affiliated distributors, Digene markets its tests in more than 40 countries worldwide. Headquartered in Gaithersburg, MD, Digene is traded on NASDAQ under the symbol DIGE.
