Next Gen Liquid Biopsy

Detecting subtypes of cancer with unparallel accuracy

About Us

Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women globally and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. While imaging-based screening programmes, such as mammography, have contributed to earlier detection, they present critical limitations. These include high false-positive rates, limited positive predictive value (~23%), and reduced sensitivity in women with dense breast tissue—factors that often result in unnecessary biopsies, overtreatment, psychological distress, and significant healthcare burden.

At VibraSpeX, we are redefining cancer screening through intelligent laser spectroscopy. Our proprietary platform integrates advanced vibrational laser spectroscopy with artificial intelligence to enable truly non-invasive analysis — free from harmful radiation and chemical reagents — of biofluids such as blood plasma and serum, supporting personalised, early cancer detection.

VibraSpeX, a new era in Breast Cancer Screening

Journal of Biophotonics 25 November 2024 https://doi.org/10.1002/jbio.202400427


Our team is currently developing highly accurate liquid biopsy tests to detect cancers at their earliest, most treatable stages and to identify their molecular subtypes with high precision — without the need for prior tissue biopsy. In our recent proof-of-concept study, the test demonstrated over 90% diagnostic accuracy and reliably distinguished between subtypes such as luminal A/B, HER2-enriched, and triple-negative breast cancer.

Together with our clinical partners in the UK and US, we are now preparing for the clinical validation of this technology to bring it closer to real-world application.
