InterVenn was co-founded by Nobel Laureate Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi, world-class scientist, and distinguished professor Dr. Carlito Lebrilla and leading AI/ML expert Aldo Carrascoso on the belief that no one should ever be blindsided by disease. We are focused on decoding the glycoproteome as a rich source of biological insight. Thanks to the use of artificial intelligence (AI), we have pioneered a proprietary technology platform, GlycoVision™, to tap into this layer of biology at a clinically meaningful scale. GlycoVision is capable of producing a robust pipeline of powerful clinical applications, ranging from early disease screening to diagnostics and potentially therapeutics. The GlycoVision platform is accessible to industry partners seeking to discover novel biomarkers from as little as 50 µL of serum or plasma.
