Elypta is a young company that in a short time has received a lot of attention and awards for its unique innovation in cancer diagnostics. We discovered that a specific class of glycans in blood and urine may have clinical utility in early cancer detection. Elypta aims to be the first company to ever market an assay to measure the specific glycan profile in human specimens for research use and future clinical diagnostics.
