The SageMedic Story
SageMedic Corp. was founded by Dr. Chris Apfel and his wife Dr. Brigitte Apfel, both California licensed physicians. While Dr. C. Apfel’s clinical research work in preoperative care has changed clinical practice worldwide, he was disappointed to see that even today cancer treatment has still a long way to go. First, his mother lost her battle to painful ovarian cancer. While watching her ordeal, his father declined anti-cancer therapy when he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and subsequently succumbed to the disease.
This experience drove him to find more effective therapies for cancer patients. He left the clinical department at University of California, San Francisco, received an MBA from Wharton to compliment his scientific education. He also became a life science impact investor and subsequently, the SAGE Oncotest™ was born.
SageMedic is now a registered California lab that is fully accredited in accordance with the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) by the Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation (COLA) and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Now SAGE can begin commercializing the Oncotest™ to generate early revenue and clinical case studies.
