Biodesix, a pioneering leader in data-driven diagnostic solutions, is revolutionizing healthcare and accelerating personalized medicine. Established in 2006 in Boulder, Colorado, Biodesix envisions a future where critical diseases are identified early and treated promptly with the guidance of personalized diagnostic solutions. 

Equipping healthcare professionals with advanced technology, Biodesix enhances decision-making and improves patient outcomes. Through innovative methodologies and an unwavering dedication to scientific inquiry, the company is shaping a healthcare environment where personalized treatment approaches become standard practice. 

In January 2024, Biodesix expanded to its new Louisville, Colorado  headquarters and state-of-the-art diagnostic testing laboratory—a newly renovated 80,000-square-foot facility. The company transformed a former Kohl's retail store, a creative example of adaptive reuse in a leading location for life sciences innovation. This strategic move highlights Biodesix's commitment to leverage Colorado’s rich talent pool and  advance personalized medicine. 

Biodesix fosters a culture of innovation and collaboration, enabling its team to address critical clinical questions faced by physicians, researchers, and biopharmaceutical companies. The company is focused on building a future where personalized healthcare saves and changes lives by revolutionizing how diseases are diagnosed and treated. 

In recent years, Colorado’s life sciences and biotechnology sectors have demonstrated remarkable growth, bringing $1.47 billion in funding to the state in 2023. To support the growth and health of life sciences in Colorado, creative partners are addressing barriers to entry driven by high operational costs associated with setting up and maintaining laboratory space and limited access to sophisticated equipment. 

A groundbreaking solution is underway in the heart of Colorado. Founded by Dr. Afshin Safavi, the Colorado Health Tech Centers (CHTC) are campuses across Colorado offering physical space and customized resources to businesses expanding their operations to Colorado, from budding start-ups to established multinational corporations.

“Our mission at Colorado Health & Tech Centers is clear: To become Colorado’s most versatile, agile, and capable developer of work environments designed to enable companies to attract, develop, and retain their industry’s best and brightest talent,” said Afshin Safavi, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Colorado Health & Tech Centers.

Colorado’s central location gives companies a competitive advantage. With one of the world’s top international airports, a rate-friendly freight environment, and move-in ready or customizable lab space, Colorado has the room to build, developers who understand the life sciences industry, and a location that attracts talent and is easy to access.
