#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. 🧵

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!

On my way to #SanFrancisco Jan 9–20 for #JPM2026 and @SPIEtweets #PhotonicsWest. At @NineDiagnostics we’re rethinking how biology is measured — moving past single‑marker tests toward integrated measurements that reflect biological state as a whole.

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

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!

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.

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

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 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.

#OvarianCancer is one of the deadliest cancers for women—yet among the hardest to detect. ~20,000 cases are diagnosed in US each yr. <50% survive 5 yrs because most cases are found too late, when symptoms are vague & treatments limited
