Pioneering the research and development of Liquid Biopsy Technologies

Scroll down

LiqSci is a Biotech catalyzing the use of non-invasive techniques using a small sample of blood for diagnostic and monitoring of health conditions including breast cancer and diabetic nephropathy.
Conventional investigation methods may require complex, invasive, painful, and sometimes risky procedures. Delays and uncertainties associated with conventional investigation may be a primary cause of anxiety and suffering.
LiqSci liquid biopsy methods offer key diagnostic and monitoring information with quick results using only a blood sample.

Life-savingDiagnostics Methodsfor earlydetection

Our mission

LiqSci seeks to develop precise but non-invasive procedures, aiming to reduce uncertainty and distress for patients.

We develop methods for

Liquid biopsy for Breast Cancer:

By evaluating the expression of genes related to the cancer cell metabolism.

Liquid biopsy for early detection of Diabetic Nephropathy:

By identifying new molecular biomarkers in patients with type II Diabetes Mellitus.
