Personalis has received a $50 million equity investment from Merck and extended a deal for Moderna to use its platform and technology.

The advanced cancer genomic testing provider said Thursday that Merck has agreed to buy $50 million worth of shares at $3.56 apiece in a private placement. When the deal closes, Merck will own about 14 million shares, or 16.5% of Personalis' total float.

The stock closed at $3.56 Wednesday and rose 5% to $3.74 ahead of Thursday's market open.

Personalis said it has also signed a multi-year extension with Moderna, allowing the vaccine maker to use its ImmunoID NeXT Platform and technology for an investigational individualized neoantigen therapy that is being jointly developed by Merck and Moderna.
