Rather than rely on biomarkers thatcancer may - or often may not - naturally provide, Earli's technology forces cancer cells to make a synthetic, non-human biomarker using a novel gene therapy approach called Synthetic Biopsy. The early cancer is then visible in a PET scanner. The same platform is also usable for therapeutics. |  | Venture - Series Unknown | Aug 19, 2024 |  |
