SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company advancing cancer diagnostics including CyPath® Lung , the Company’s commercially available test for early-stage lung cancer, announced a webinar on July 21, 2026, featuring clinical experts discussing emerging approaches to lung health screening and early detection for veterans at increased risk for lung cancer and other respiratory diseases.
The educational webinar will explore current challenges in identifying and managing lung disease in veteran populations, including those potentially impacted by toxic exposures recognized under the PACT Act. Presenters will discuss advances in diagnostic technologies, imaging capabilities, and strategies that may support earlier detection and improved clinical decision-making.
The webinar will feature clinical perspectives on:
Lung cancer risk among veterans and the importance of early detection
The evolving role of imaging in lung health assessment
Emerging noninvasive diagnostic approaches
Opportunities to improve patient access to screening and follow-up care
Considerations for implementing comprehensive lung health programs

Michael Nicholson, DO, will discuss his clinical experience using CyPath® Lung, bioAffinity Technologies’ noninvasive test for early detection of lung cancer. He is a pulmonary, critical care, advanced lung disease, and lung transplantation specialist whose clinical focus includes improving noninvasive malignancy risk stratification for patients with pulmonary nodules. Dr. Nicholson has published peer-reviewed research, presented at international conferences, and authored textbook chapters on topics including bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, COPD, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, lung transplantation, and pleural disease.
Dr. Nicholson practices at RWJBarnabas Health, New Jersey’s largest and most comprehensive academic health system, providing integrated care, medical education, and research across a statewide network of hospitals, ambulatory centers, and specialty practices. CyPath® Lung is a noninvasive test designed to improve the early detection of lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease. CyPath® Lung uses advanced flow cytometry and proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell populations in patient sputum that indicate malignancy.
Greg Mogel, MD, 4DMedical’s Chief Medical Officer, is a practicing radiologist and physician executive with a long career in medicine and engineering in government, academia, and industry. He previously held multiple leadership roles at Kaiser Permanente where he played a central role in the establishment of Lung Cancer Screening across the largest integrated healthcare delivery system in the United States. A proud veteran, Greg served in the United States Army Medical Corps.
4DMedical Limited is a medical technology company that develops advanced imaging and analysis solutions to assess lung structure and function. Its proprietary platform provides clinicians with highly detailed, noninvasive visualization of lung motion and airflow, enabling earlier detection of respiratory diseases and improved patient management.
Event Details:
Date: July 21, 2026
Time: 6 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. CT (US and Canada)
Veterans experience a higher incidence of lung cancer than the general population, underscoring the importance of timely screening and diagnostic evaluation. The webinar will provide healthcare professionals with insights into current clinical practices and emerging technologies that may help support improved outcomes for at-risk patients.
The program is intended for healthcare professionals involved in pulmonary medicine, oncology, radiology, primary care, veteran health services, and related specialties. For additional information or to register, please click this link .
About CyPath® Lung
CyPath® Lung by bioAffinity Technologies is a noninvasive test designed to improve the early detection of lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease. CyPath® Lung uses advanced flow cytometry and proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell populations in patient sputum that indicate malignancy. CyPath® Lung incorporates a fluorescent porphyrin that is preferentially taken up by cancer and cancer-related cells. In a published clinical trial of high-risk patients, CyPath® Lung demonstrated 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity, 88% accuracy and 99% negative predictive value (NPV) in detecting lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease who had small indeterminate lung nodules less than 20 millimeters. The high NPV gives physicians greater confidence that a negative result is truly negative, potentially sparing patients from unnecessary invasive and costly procedures. CyPath® Lung is marketed as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) and is not intended for use as a sole diagnostic tool and should be considered alongside other clinical findings.
About bioAffinity Technologies, Inc.
bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. addresses the need for noninvasive diagnosis of early-stage cancer and other diseases of the lung and broad-spectrum cancer treatments. The Company’s first product, CyPath® Lung, is a noninvasive test that has shown high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for the detection of early-stage lung cancer. CyPath® Lung is marketed as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) by Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, a subsidiary of bioAffinity Technologies. LDTs are overseen under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), which are administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
