Nu.Q® Discover Expands Global Adoption and Epigenetic Innovation

 HENDERSON, Nev., July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) ("Volition"), a multi-national epigenetics company, today provides an update on the significant commercial and scientific progress of its Nu.Q^® Discover program.

With an estimated total addressable market of $200 million annually ^[1], Nu.Q^® Discover targets a smaller market than our other larger pillars, but it is proving to be a strong source of early revenue and is validating the wide applicability and utility of our Nu.Q^® platform with some of the world's biggest healthcare companies. With a powerful portfolio of 14 state-of-the-art immunoassays, Nu.Q^® Discover is now serving over 20 clients worldwide, accelerating disease research and drug development across multiple therapeutic areas. Built on Volition's proprietary nucleosome quantification technology, Nu.Q^® Discover offers unparalleled insight through high-throughput epigenetic profiling as a service to large Pharma and diagnostic companies for their own development programs. The Nu.Q^® platform's versatility across biological samples and disease models was recently validated in a peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Biological Chemistry titled: "High-throughput epigenetic profiling immunoassays for accelerated disease research and clinical development."

Volition is committed to expanding the Nu.Q^® Discover offering and delivering significant value to the life sciences community. The company anticipates continued growth in 2025, including multiple new contracts, building on the strong foundation of scientific excellence and global commercial traction established to date.

Dr. Jasmine Kway, Chief Executive Officer, Singapore Volition said:

"We've seen strong and growing demand for Nu.Q^® assays as exploratory biomarkers in 3^rd parties' multi-national clinical trials, with multiple global clients placing repeat orders. The largest of these projects has projected revenue in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, for an ongoing longitudinal Phase 1/2b study targeting completion in 2026.

"Our robust pipeline and ongoing service expansion suggests continued strong Nu.Q^® Discover revenue growth this year.

"Pharma companies are using Nu.Q^® assays as exploratory biomarkers today — and if/when they advance to companion diagnostic use, this could translate into high-value, multi-million dollar, long-term partnerships.

"We're also actively exploring co-marketing partnerships to meet the demand for Nu.Q^® Discover we are seeing worldwide and hope to be able to sign such a deal in the coming months."
