Under the terms of the collaboration, Vermillion will continue to provide financial support, technical assistance and access to its advanced technology platforms, while Johns Hopkins will continue to contribute cancer serum samples and the clinical and scientific expertise of its physicians and scientists. Vermillion will have access to exclusive commercial rights to the discoveries made through the partnership.
