Coral integrates molecular, functional, and clinical factors to create new clinical laboratory tests that predict optimal treatments for autoimmune diseases. We have also identified a unique subpopulation of patients who do not respond to current therapies and are working towards addressing this unmet medical need.

New clinical tests for autoimmune treatment

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build clinical lab tests that combine molecular, functional, and clinical data to predict which autoimmune treatments will work best for patients. Our tests also identify patients who don't respond to current therapies, a group that traditional diagnostics miss.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team lives and where biotech and healthcare innovation are concentrated, so it's natural for us to be here.
