NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Insight Molecular Diagnostics Inc., (Nasdaq: IMDX), (iMDx), today announced that on October 14, 2026, it will participate in the U.S. Bancorp I BTIG Kidney Health Forum, which will include a key opinion leader (KOL) virtual discussion and one-on-one meetings between investors and management.

The KOL discussion will feature iMDx CEO Josh Riggs, as well as Prof. Dr. Med. Klemens Budde, who is a kidney transplantation researcher and a head of the transplant program of the Department of Nephrology and Internal Intensive Care Medicine, at the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Charité in Berlin is one of the world’s leading academic medical institutions, a European leader in transplantation, and the home of Germany’s largest kidney transplant program.

Dr. Budde brings firsthand clinical insight into the expanding role of molecular diagnostics in transplant care. He initiated the Phase 2 felzartamab study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2024, which used iMDx’s GraftAssure dd-cfDNA technology to monitor kidney transplant injury during treatment for antibody-mediated rejection. In the extension study published recently in Lancet Regional Health Europe, GraftAssure was used to guide felzartamab therapy. His group has published numerous studies on the use of dd-cfDNA in various clinical situations.

Dr. Budde’s discussion with iMDx’s CEO and with BTIG analyst Mark Massaro will explore the potential for GraftAssure, including how localized, blood-based testing could help physicians assess treatment response, identify recurrence, and ultimately tailor anti-rejection therapy to individual patients.

Format: Virtual KOL discussion and 1×1 meetings with iMDx management
KOL discussion date and time: Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 12:00 pm ET
