TRITON-Disposable PoP tests for early detection of lung cancer
With around 1.8 million new cases per year, lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths globally. We are developing disposable, inexpensive optical biosensors for label-free detection of cancer biomarkers. Our main value proposition is to improve early lung cancer diagnosis with rapid, accessible, and cost-effective diagnostic […]
Huntington biomarker detection in tears
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive, ultimately lethal, genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the gene coding for the protein mutant Huntingtin (mHTT). Despite numerous genetic intervention trials, there are currently no treatments that can slow down HD’s progression. To develop new treatments it is important to monitor disease progression and the effectivity of […]
Giant Extracellular Vesicles (GEVs)
Imagine if we could tell patients if they are cancer-free, how advanced it is, or which drugs work best for their treatment, all by analyzing a blood or urine sample. Our technology does precisely that. It functionally identifies unique molecules in tiny bubble-like containers called extracellular vesicles that come from diseased cells. These molecules act […]
lab-on-a-particle CRISPR detection
Accurate and early detection of diseases is key to improving healthcare, but current diagnostic tests often lack precision, leading to delays, false alarms, and higher healthcare costs. Our innovative solution uses advanced nanotechnology and CRISPR—a cutting-edge molecular tool—to create ultra-sensitive tests that detect tiny traces of disease markers at very early stages. These tests are […]
Glow-in-the-dark molecular diagnostics
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a reliable and sensitive method for detecting DNA and RNA, and is widely considered the gold standard. However, qPCR needs costly equipment, skilled technicians, and specialized labs, which means tests can take several hours. The COVID-19 pandemic showed that while qPCR is effective for detecting infectious diseases, it is neither quick […]
Next generation formulations for RNA
Liporyx is developing a bioinspired lipid-like polymer technology to safely and specifically deliver nucleic acid therapeutics to diverse cell types in the body. Most RNA therapeutics do not traverse the body well and are typically removed from circulation by the liver, limiting their effectiveness for many diseases. A highly versatile drug delivery system lies at […]
Gelion Care
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common and severe complication of diabetes that affects millions worldwide. DFUs are slow to heal, prone to infections, and often lead to amputations, creating a significant healthcare burden. Existing treatments are costly, inaccessible, or ineffective, and the rising threat of Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) further limiting traditional options. At Gelion […]
Macrophage Liposomes
Despite many advancements in cancer treatment, more than 10 million people die each year from cancer worldwide. The most advanced cancer immunotherapy benefits only 10-15% of the treated patients with solid tumors and metastasis. This low response rate is due to suppressed tumor cell-killing immune cells. This suppression is caused by tumour-associated macrophages (TAM), key […]
EV antibodies for the treatment of cancer
Tumour cells communicate with normal cells in the body through special communication bubbles called vesicles. After they reach a healthy cell, this cell is reprogrammed to the benefit of the cancer cell. Until now, no strategies to block these vesicles released by cancer cells have been developed due to lack specific markers and molecules. Recently […]
