About Oncoptic

We don't test cells.
We read them.

Oncoptic's multi-scale optical platform interrogates cells — from population-level signal down to a single cell — with a novel sensing architecture, extracting structural, mechanical, and functional properties that no single existing test can see. Paired with an advanced signal-processing and AI-enabled SaMD, it turns that signal into a diagnostic and therapeutic tool: label-free, fast, low-cost, and built for the point of care.

Our vision

A world where disease is seen at the cell — not after it's grown, spread, or progressed.

The approach

Most tests look at what's in a cell. We read what a cell is.

Structure. Mechanics. How it behaves. Captured optically — without stains, without destroying the sample. That opens applications existing tools can't reach: catching cancer earlier, and measuring how well a CAR-T therapy is actually working, cell by cell.
