About Mercy BioAnalytics
Mercy BioAnalytics is dedicated to minimizing suffering and saving lives through early cancer detection. Although early-stage cancer can be challenging to diagnose, timely detection often allows for curative therapies. The company's proprietary Mercy Halo™ liquid biopsy platform utilizes innovative biomarker co-localization technology to analyze blood-derived extracellular vesicles that convey unique cancer markers from their originating cells. This technology is aimed at identifying early-stage cancers, facilitating timely intervention, and ultimately improving the quality of life for patients and their families.
Currently, Mercy BioAnalytics is particularly focused on the early detection of ovarian and lung cancers, which are among the most lethal forms of cancer. Ovarian cancer, known as the deadliest gynecological cancer, frequently goes undetected until it is too late for effective treatment. Lung cancer, on the other hand, is responsible for more deaths than breast and prostate cancers combined.
