MI:RNA Diagnostics

MI:RNA Diagnostics have developed a novel early disease detection technology for the veterinary market that uses microRNA biomarkers to accurately identify if disease is present, through blood sample analysis. By combining this method with an artificial intelligence learning model to enable interpretation, they have adopted a true precision medicine approach. Paving the way, they hope, for many other innovative solutions in this field. It is their mission to reduce disease through research and innovation, resulting in a cascade of ethical, environmental, and economic benefits.
