Measure metastatic potential in hours. Make informed treatment decisions from the start

Right treatment,
first time

Our mission is to improve outcomes for patients with cancer by ensuring each person receives the right treatment, the first time. We measure mechanical properties of the tumor and tumor microenvironment to reveal metastatic potential and guide specific treatment choices, with results in hours. Biopsy sample testing maintains tissue integrity for downstream standard of care pathology analysis.

A new dimension in cancer: physical properties that predict behavior

Cancer is physical. How aggressive it is, how fast it spreads, and how it resists treatment depend on biomechanical forces that you cannot see in genomics, radiology, or pathology. You need an additional way to analyze the cell. That is what Artidis delivers.


For cancer to metastasize, cells must physically squeeze through tissue barriers and slip into blood vessels. Artidis identifies the most aggressive cells by measuring mechanical properties within the tumor microenvironment: cancer cells, surrounding matrix, immune landscape, and physical barriers that block treatment penetration.


These are actionable insights. In the coming years, clinicians could base therapeutic decisions on these quantifiable mechanical properties. From taxanes that target cell structure to checkpoint inhibitors that must physically navigate tissue barriers. Artidis provides the predictive biomarkers to guide these choices, offering faster, actionable answers across the care journey.
