Lighting the way
for precision medicine
MiCareo believes in a future where medicine can offer the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. To get us to that future, we must find crucial information that is hidden away deep inside rare cells that circulate in our body. Our mission is to unlock the secrets of these rare cells and offer a way forward for research and drug development in the pursuit of precision medicine. We invite you to join us towards these goals.
