Single-cell multi-omic cell biopsy®

See what bulk biopsies miss, One cell at a time.

1Cell.Ai profiles DNA, RNA, and protein from individual tumor cells to reveal patient subgroups, validate targets, and uncover resistance biology missed by tissue or bulk ctDNA.

    Why now

    What is it costing you not to look?

    Most targeted therapies still select patients from a single marker, on a single slice of tissue, frozen at a single point in time. Tumors aren’t like that, and every month a program runs on averaged data, the answers stay hidden in cells no one profiled.

    01

    Could it identify responders tissue IHC excluded?

    One stain, on one slice, with lab-to-lab variability, patients whose live tumor cells still express the target never make it into your trial. Real-time protein quantification on circulating tumor cells puts them back in.

    Yes, with single-cell protein

    02

    Could it uncover resistance conventional assays miss?

    Bulk ctDNA averages away the private, sub-clonal signals that flag resistance before it’s clinical. Resolve subclones and resistance biology that bulk measurements can obscure.

    Yes, cell by cell

    03

    Could it help save a clinical trial?

    When response is heterogeneous, an arm-level “failure” can hide a responder subgroup. Single-cell target and resistance data lets you enrich enrollment, stratify smarter, and act before the readout, not after.

    Yes, before the readout

    How it compares

    Different analytes.
    Different biological information.

    Tissue, plasma ctDNA, and cell biopsy® each capture different biology. Cell biopsy® adds serial, blood-based access to intact tumor cells, with DNA, RNA, and protein read from the same single cell.

    The approach

    One cell. Three layers.
    The whole picture.

    Our cell biopsy® platform captures live circulating tumor cells and reads DNA, RNA, and protein from the same cell: a true, cell-by-cell signature of heterogeneity and resistance.

    DNA

    Mutations & CNAs

    Resolve driver status, even KRAS-mutant vs. wild- type, at single-cell resolution, catching subclones bulk assays miss.

    RNA

    Pathway activity

    Read what the tumor is actually doing: the difference between a mutation being present and a pathway being ON.

    Protein

    Target expression

    Quantify 20–30 ADC targets per cell with oligo- tagged antibodies: the real readout for ADC and bispecific selection.
