Mitochondrial DNA liquid biopsy tests for cancer and disease detection
MDNA Life Sciences is a biotechnology company developing proprietary diagnostic tests based on mitochondrial DNA biomarkers.
Its technology detects specific mitochondrial DNA deletions in blood and tissue samples as indicators of disease, enabling non-invasive testing for conditions that are difficult to diagnose.
Current products address high-grade prostate cancer and endometriosis, with a pipeline spanning ovarian, lung, liver, pancreatic, and stomach cancers.
The company operates a UKAS-accredited laboratory at Newcastle Helix.
