Company
AOA Dx
Blood Test for Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer
We make a blood test that detects ovarian cancer early by measuring specific glycolipid biomarkers. Our product identifies disease signals before symptoms arise, helping women get diagnosed sooner when treatments are more effective. We focus on accuracy and early-stage detection in an area where screening options are practically nonexistent.
We live and work primarily in Denver, CO, and Cambridge, MA. After YC, the company will remain based in these locations to leverage our existing team and research resources.
Denver and Cambridge offer complementary strengths: Denver for our operational and clinical partnerships, Cambridge for biotech research talent. We want to continue where we have strong roots and domain expertise rather than relocate.
