After this funding round, Jain said that the company is also preparing for the $10 Mn Series A round for a much larger expansion in the mother and child segment. “Our scientific team works with all major hospitals and research institutes for long-term collaboration,” Jain added.

In the last two years, Redcliffe Life Sciences has also diversified its focus areas to include rare disorders, oncology, and clinical gene sequencing. The startup claims that it has processed over 5000 samples within its first year of operations.
