Biocartesian

Converting biology into digital molecular maps

Y CombinatorSummer 2024ActiveHealthcareDrug Discovery and DeliveryHard TechB2BBiotechDiagnostics

What they do

Problem

Drug discovery and disease research are limited because existing tissue analysis tools detect less than 1% of abnormal molecules and lack detailed spatial insight.

Solution

Biocartesian combines microscopy with novel chemistries to generate high-resolution digital molecular maps of tissues, detecting ~50× more molecules than current methods.

Who it's for

Pharma companies and biomedical researchers who need spatial molecular profiling of diseased tissues for target discovery and therapy development.
