Next-generation cancer diagnostics

Cancer changes glycans.
We detect the differences.

Sequencing this major class of biomarkers to detect cancer across multiple glycoproteins. From a blood sample.

Decoding the glycome.



01 The problem

DNA, RNA, & protein sequencing transformed diagnostics. 

We're tackling the last major class of unsequenceable biomolecules–Glycans

02 Our approach

Our platform: GlycoSeq™

GlycoSeq reads glycan patterns across multiple proteins to build richer, multi-marker cancer signatures.

01CaptureIsolate the target protein
02SequenceDetect glycosylation patterns
03InterpretConvert glycosylation patterns to clinical signals

Machine learning uncovers disease.

Sequencing determines structure.

TECHNOLOGY

We convert identified features into fully resolved structures, then match these to thousands of known signatures of disease.
