Fueling discoveries in personalized cancer care
At Navignostics, we fight cancer by enabling personalized treatments. We analyze tumor samples and determine the best way to target each cancerous growth, so that clinicians can find the right therapy and researchers can develop new drugs.
We founded Navignostics in 2022 as a spin-off from the University of Zurich Bodenmiller Lab. We combine highly multiplex tumor imaging with advanced data analytics, and we have refined and validated our technology through rigorous research in clinical settings. Our laboratory and headquarters are located in Horgen, Switzerland.
Using just a single tumor tissue section, our assays detect dozens of proteins that characterize tumors. They allow us to identify individual cells, such as tumor and immune cells, and describe cancer-related processes. We do this by staining the tissues with panels of up to 50 selected metal-labeled antibodies.
Our imaging mass cytometry system detects all selected proteins in a single step through laser ablation of the tissue and time-of-flight measurement of the metal weights. The result is a high-resolution digital image representation of the molecular composition of the tumor.
With our proprietary computational workflows, we gain a wealth of information on tumor features from these images. They range from single-cell protein expressions and cell types to cellular interactions and multicellular assemblies.
Finally, we generate an easily understandable yet thorough PDF report to describe disease mechanisms. The customizable report helps clinicians make individualized treatment decisions and highlights novel signatures for cancer researchers to identify patients likely to respond to a new drug.
We deliver consistently high quality that exceeds standards and adds value for our partners and for patients.
We always keep an open mind and continue to learn from new research results to provide the best cancer care.
We foster supportive relationships where we can learn from each other to battle cancer.
We are growing and are often looking for new colleagues who share our values. You can find our open positions on our LinkedIn page.
