AOA Dx is developing the next frontier in early-stage cancer detection through its pioneering work in glycolipids and proprietary biomarker technology. Our revolutionary tumor marker ganglioside platform, GlycoLocate™, is paving the way for life-saving early cancer detection. In a first of its kind, AOA Dx has developed AKRIVIS GD™, an early-stage liquid biopsy test for ovarian cancer, that has proven excellent sensitivity and specificity in a recent study. We foresee novel tumor biomarker gangliosides as the future for diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, and eventually targeted therapies across multiple cancers. AOA Dx was co-founded by three experts and passionate advocates of women’s health, who have worked together at two previous diagnostic startups, that both resulted in successful exits upon commercialization.
AOA Dx, a Y combinator and VC backed company, raised an oversubscribed Seed Round to accelerate development and clinical studies.
