What Biocartesian does
Finding new cures requires seeing what and where the abnormal molecules are in a diseased tissue, but current tools see less than 1% of those molecules. Biocartesian combines microscopy and new chemistries to see 50X more, offering unprecedented insights into disease biology and new therapies.

Converting biology into digital molecular maps
We built a platform that combines microscopy with novel chemistry to visualize 50 times more molecules than current tools in diseased tissue. This creates detailed digital molecular maps that help researchers understand disease biology and develop new therapies. Our product gives scientists a much fuller picture of what's abnormal in tissues, insights that existing methods miss because they see less than 1% of those molecules.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and will continue to base the company here after YC.
San Francisco has a concentration of biotech research and potential early users nearby. We're already embedded in this environment, making it easier to collaborate with partners and recruit specialized talent.
