Mission
“Advancing diagnostic procedures for precision medicine”
As individual as the people are their illnesses. Especially in cancer, the variability of the tumors leads to strong differences in the respective response to a therapy. Integrating molecular diagnostics into clinical routine opens up the possibility of precisely characterizing patients and their disease at the genetic level and identifying the most effective therapy for the individual’s disease. Today we know that cancer cells can change or evolve over time. This poses an additional challenge to the treatment and suggests – especially under therapy pressure – a continuous diagnostic observation of the cancer occurrence.
GILUPI’s goal is to develop from our technology platform, the GILUPI CellCollector®, a portfolio of products that enable individual diagnostic approaches. For this purpose, circulating, disease-associated rare cells are enriched in the blood and analyzed with the highest precision and the most modern technologies.
