Technology
Our novel miRNA discovery platform is applicable to oncological, neurological, cardiovascular & autoimmune diseases.
Our combination of deep machine learning expertise with equally deep biological validation has led to the development of ground-breaking diagnostics in our first two clinical applications.
Why miRNA?
miRNAs
miRNAs are small, highly conserved, non-coding RNAs playing crucial roles in the regulation of virtually all aspects of living cells.
miRNAs have been implicated in a wide range of diseases including different types of cancers, heart conditions and neurological diseases. They are promising candidates for diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as predictors of drug response. As non- or minimally invasive biomarkers from body fluids, they show a remarkable extracellular stability making them near ideal clinical biomarkers.
