Welcome To Cellens

Sensing Cancer
on a Nanoscale Level

Bringing clarity and precision to cancer diagnostics through mechanobiology and machine learning

WHAT WE ARE DOING

Touching cancer cells with a nanoscale finger

Cellens is pioneering a novel diagnostic modality based on single cell biophysical markers. By touching cells at the nanoscale level, we uncover unique physical fingerprints of cancer cells that are ideal for accurate and non-invasive cancer detection.
