Job Description:
HealthTell, Inc is a well-funded, venture-backed start-up developing a breakthrough medical diagnostic platform that leverages the body’s immune system to enable early detection and monitoring of a wide range of chronic diseases. Our proprietary peptide microarrays provide a snapshot of a patient’s antibody repertoire at a given time. Circulating antibodies are naturally amplified by the immune system and reflect the body’s response to diseases, including infections, cancer, autoimmune diseases and Alzheimer’s disease. HealthTell will accurately diagnose diseases using its proprietary immunosignaturing approach with a single, minimally invasive test, and monitor disease progression and therapeutic response over time. The technology has great potential for application in many areas such as diagnosis, patient selection, disease monitoring, and therapeutic R&D.
