Where we come from

Proven feasibility — backed by clinically relevant timeframes.

Our team has developed the technology to profile tumor biopsies with whole genome and transcriptome sequencing in clinically relevant timeframes.

We have demonstrated the clinical feasibility of our test. Witnessing the impact of this technology on clinical care has been a transformative experience. We feel the urgency to make Isabl GxT available to every cancer patient.

Leveraging the excellent work of those who came before us.

The pioneering advancements of the team at Isabl continue bring us closer to our goals.
