Our Product

Meet the MYLeukaemia Therapy Guidance Chipset: an organ-on-chip (OoC) that recreates the bone-marrow niche to capture how each patient’s cells actually respond to available therapies turning trial-and-error into evidence-guided therapy selection in just 72h.

Discover our innovative marrow-avatar platform.

How it Works

During routine diagnostics, the M.D. collects +5 mL extra peripheral/BM aspirate. Same-day courier brings the sample to our central lab, where we isolate viable leukaemia cells & load them into the MYLeukaemia Therapy Guidance Chipset - our bioengineered human bone-marrow avatar.

We challenge the blood cancer cells with 5 clinically used regimens, quantify Leukaemia cell response vs. healthy counterparts tolerance, and produce a tumour-board-ready heatmap that ranks most effective therapeutic options & flags QC. The result complements cytogenetics, flow, PCR and NGS, turning one-size fits all approach/trial-and-error into evidence-guided therapy selection.

For decisions perfectly tailored to your patient unique blood cancer profile.

🎉 Yesterday, something happened that I never imagined I would write on LinkedIn.
We walked into the EIT Jumpstarter Grand Final in Budapest as a small deeptech team from Madeira -
a remote Atlantic island that rarely appears on Europe’s innovation radar.

And we walked out with two awards:
🏆 1st Place – Health Cohort
🌍 Best Outermost Region Team (...)

Same age as me.

I didn’t know his name.
I just knew his blood.

He was my first ever blood cancer case.
Intermediate risk. Good initial response.
