What Signatur Biosciences does
We make precision diagnostics more accessible, starting with breast cancer prognosis. Current tests that guide the use of therapy are really slow and expensive because they need to be run in complex centralized facilities. Our tests are designed to be easily run by local hospital labs, reducing turnaround time from over three weeks to a few days and for a fraction of the price.

Company
Signatur Biosciences
Simple tests for complex diseases
We make precision diagnostics accessible by creating tests that can be run in local hospital labs instead of centralized facilities. Our first product focuses on breast cancer prognosis, reducing the test turnaround from over three weeks to a few days at much lower cost. This helps doctors decide on therapy faster and more affordably.
We live in London, England, and the company is based here. After YC, we plan to remain based in London.
We are based in London where we have access to clinical partners and labs needed to develop and validate our diagnostics. The healthcare environment here suits our approach to making precise tests locally accessible.
