Mission & Vision
Measuring the presence of a biomarker associated with a patient’s tumor can provide crucial information whether a patient is eligible for a new generation of more effective targeted treatments, i.e., personalized medicine. This provides great opportunities for better health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs for patients, healthcare providers, payors and society.
In molecular diagnostics, current technologies are often complex. They require a lot of hands-on time and are difficult to implement in the local laboratory. Sending out samples to specialized centers delays results, preventing rapid initiation of the most beneficial therapy. However, rapid access to accurate data about the relevant cancer mutations or treatment resistance in oncology is vital. Early disease interception means less anxiety while waiting for results and faster initiation of the best possible treatment.
Biocartis’ vision is to enable personalized medicine for patients around the world through universal access to molecular testing. Our mission is to make molecular testing actionable, easy, fast and suitable for any lab.
