What's the Problem?

Access to precision molecular information is very limited for professionals in time critical conditions. Existing solutions depend on laboratories, making the process centralized and slow (it can take several days). Given this delay, multiple professionals & doctors can’t employ this information for their decision making process in time critical situations.

How are they Solving it?

Caspr is harnessing CRISPR and novel Cas enzymes as the next generation of molecular detection platform. CRISPR has made the headlines since its discovery (in 2012) for its ability to edit the genome. Its core functionality is to search & identify specific DNA sequences. In nature, CRISPR is the defense mechanism that bacteria & archaea have to detect infections and defend themselves.
