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

Branched glycan structure with labeled sugar linkages

Glycan sequencing makes the diagnosis

We’re adding a serum test to the non-invasive risk factors in our models. GlycoSeq™ measures glycan patterns across proteins, adding a powerful new molecular signal to our screeners.

02 Our approach

Our platform: GlycoSeq™

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