Many cancers, many mutations
Patients are being misguided for Treatment.
At expressTEC we are developing the first RNA and AI based technology to accurately select patients for targeted therapies. Our 1st product, expressPIK, precisely identifies the most common mutations found in breast tumours, and is a proof of concept for our larger vision of a platform to test many mutations in all cancer types.
Accurate, Easy and Fast to implement.
Our mission is to empower healthcare professionals with fast and reliable tools that identify the most suitable patients for treatment, ensuring optimal therapeutic efficacy while minimising side effects.
