#Cancer therapies have gotten dramatically better

Feedback loop on whether the one you're on is working hasn't

3-6 mos is still the wait & for too many patients that gap costs time they don't have

Proud to announce that @NineDiagnostics has been selected for Spring 2026 @SCbio × @MassBio Drive — #biomarkers & #diagnostics track 🎉

One of 11 selected companies. We're focused on building AI-enabled tools to redefine earlier cancer detection and treatment decisions. 🧵

[Freddy T. Nguyen, MD, PhD @freddytn]

Earlier this week, we pitched @NineDiagnostics at 2026 @BioToolsInnovator Road Tour in #Boston — 1 of 30+ teams selected from 540+ #lifescience tools & #diagnostics #startups.

Thx to organizers & judges for great insights & questions!

Great to meet fellow founders & leaders!

Excited to share that @NineDiagnostics was selected as 1 of 30 teams (from 450+ tools & diagnostics companies) to pitch at the 2026 @BioToolsInnovator Road Tour in #Boston — building fingerprint tests so teams can see sooner what’s working and what isn’t.

[Freddy T. Nguyen, MD, PhD @freddytn]

Congrats to @Dan_A_Heller, @MijinKim_Lab, and Lish Ndhlovu. The new @ARPA_H LIGHT program shows where #diagnostics is going as we learn to read the body’s “hidden highway” — the lymphatic system — with our AI‑enabled nanosensor tech!

Most tests still check one tiny piece of biology: is this one number up or down?

New @Nature #Nanotechnology paper shows how perception‑based #Diagnostics can turn a blood draw into a wide‑angle view of a patient's cancer in a full comprehensive picture!

.@AbbottNews is acquiring @ExactSciences for ~$21B — a major move in early #cancer detection and screening. A ~50% premium signals strong conviction in the future of #diagnostics as stool-, blood-, and #LiquidBiopsy workflows continue to converge.

This past week we pitched @NineDiagnostics at the @AmericanCancer #BrightEdge Entrepreneurs Program — an inspiring reminder that real #innovation & #entrepreneurship in #healthcare happen when founders, mentors & investors align around a shared mission.

[Freddy T. Nguyen, MD, PhD @freddytn]

Last month’s trip to Minneapolis for the @MedicalAlley #Innovation Showcase was a great reminder that #innovation doesn’t just live on the coasts. Grateful to represent @NineDiagnostics and to reconnect with leaders driving health forward. #startups #healthtech #precisionmedicine

[Freddy T. Nguyen, MD, PhD @freddytn]

The 2025 @NobelPrize in Economic Sciences honors Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion & Peter Howitt for showing how #innovation drives sustained #economicgrowth — and how openness to new ideas turns discoveries into self-reinforcing progress.

Compact would tie funding to limits on international students, tuition caps & curbs on DEI.

@MIT’s response: No.

Because academic freedom isn’t a bargaining chip — it’s the foundation of American innovation

President Sally Kornbluth:

“We freely choose these values because they’re right… MIT abides by the law — but science must be guided by merit, not politics.”

.@MIT just drew a line that others have hesitated to cross.

It became the first university to reject the Trump admin’s “Compact for Academic Excellence.”

Not defiance — principle.

Heading to Rochester, NY for this weekend’s APSA Northeast Regional Meeting at @UofR — especially meaningful after founding @A_P_S_A 20+ years ago.

Seeing it thrive today is a reminder how communities outlast their founders when built with purpose.

Last week’s Netherland-American Foundation New England Gala at the @mfaboston was a remarkable evening celebrating the mission of NAF: strengthening ties between the U.S. & #Netherlands through exchange, collaboration & cultural + scientific diplomacy. #NAFGala #NetherlandsUSA

[Freddy T. Nguyen, MD, PhD @freddytn]

Last week I had the privilege of representing @NineDiagnostics at the 2nd Annual #Boston #Biotech Investor Day #BBID2025 — hosted by @LabCentral, @biolabs, @enginexyz, & @The_Termeer_Fdn

From 177 applications, 24 startups were selected to pitch. Honored to be among them.

[Freddy T. Nguyen, MD, PhD @freddytn]

This morning’s event @FidelityPrivate Shares was a great reminder: building a thriving #lifesciences #ecosystem is about more than capital — it’s about relationships, reciprocity, and contributing as much as you benefit.

Earlier this week, #WMIF2025 — hosted by @MassGenBrigham + @BankofAmerica — spotlighted where #medicine is heading and what it will take to get there. MGB leadership driving the conversation on #healthcareinnovation #biotech

🚀 Accelerating patient-matched #cancer therapies through strategic Merck Digital Sciences Studio collab: @NineDiagnostics x Orbits #Oncology

Recently had chance to present our platform to KOLs + stakeholders at Merck as part of MDSS
