Syantra Inc. is changing the way cancer detection and treatment are undertaken. Its lead product is Syantra DX | Breast Cancer, a blood-based cancer detection assay that utilizes a novel suite of biomarkers and proprietary artificial intelligence-generated algorithms to provide a positive or negative result. Currently in worldwide clinical studies, this test represents an important entrant in the emerging molecular diagnostics sector. It is targeted to be market ready in early 2021.
KRS Biopharma was a Calgary-based corporation focussed on creating targeted therapeutics through a patented platform approach. When combined with clinical data and artificial intelligence, KRS developed a path to establish novel modes of disease and evaluation of drug intervention.
Sy Diagnostics was the Calgary based precursor to Syantra Inc.. The consolidation of Sy Diagnostics and Syantra Inc. simplifies Syantra’s management, operations and reporting as related to cancer diagnostics.
