About
Advancing Platelet Proteomics for Precision Oncology
Hessian Labs is transforming cancer diagnostics by moving beyond the limitations of tissue biopsies and DNA mutation–driven models.
Our approach harnesses platelet proteomics — a non-invasive blood test that reflects real-time molecular activity across the body. Platelets selectively capture proteins that drive tumor biology, offering a dynamic readout of cancer onset, growth, and therapeutic response.
At the center of this innovation is ClariaIQ™, our AI-powered informatics platform. ClariaIQ decodes the complex proteomic signatures carried by platelets and translates them into clinically actionable insights. This provides a level of sensitivity, specificity, and temporal resolution unattainable with traditional genomic or tissue-based techniques, enabling earlier detection and more precise patient management
OUR MISSIOn
To ease the patient journey through cancer and other difficult diseases by delivering personalized, real-time diagnostics that guide the right care… at the right time.
Detect earlier. Treat smarter. Save lives.
Darrol G. Roberts, Co-founder & CEO
“Our vision: a world where living with cancer feels no different than living with any other chronic condition — treatment guided by precision diagnostics, and life lived without compromise.
Because patients deserve more than just survival”
