About Advertising

To further the mission of "improving clinical outcomes and quality of life for disease, by developing innovative, non-invasive, accurate, and cost-effective diagnostics solutions", advertising and sponsorship may be accepted under strict guidelines as specified below. Advertising and sponsorship revenue is used to support Research and Non-Profit Development at KIENCE INC (KIENCE).

KIENCE maintains a distinct separation between advertising content and editorial content. All advertising content on the KIENCE website is clearly labeled as an advertisement. Sponsored areas of the site are labeled as such, and the sponsoring organizations are identified. The Advertising Policy is set and reviewed annually by the Advertising Integrity Board (AIB), comprised of representatives from KIENCE, the Editorial Board (EB), the Medical Advisory Board (MAB), staff of KIENCE and the management team of KIENCE.
