Private Company

Funding information not available

Overview

Pre Diagnostics is an early-stage, private diagnostics company developing a proprietary platform for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases by analyzing biomarkers inside blood cells (monocytes), rather than in the bloodstream. Its lead program targets Alzheimer's disease (AD) by measuring the dynamic clearance of beta-amyloid, positioning it as a potential tool for pre-symptomatic diagnosis. The company is pre-revenue and research-focused, having recently secured significant non-dilutive funding through a €7.7 million EU Horizon grant to advance its FluiDx-AD project. Its innovative approach differentiates it from conventional plasma-based biomarker tests.

Alzheimer's DiseaseNeurodegenerative Diseases

Technology Platform

Intracellular diagnostics platform measuring disease-specific biomarker dynamics (e.g., beta-amyloid clearance) inside monocytes, a type of white blood cell, from a standard blood draw.

Opportunities

The approval of disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer's has created an urgent need for scalable, early diagnostic tools.
The company's platform also has a high-potential secondary application in predicting adverse events (ARIA) from these new therapies, which could accelerate adoption as a companion diagnostic.

Risk Factors

The novel intracellular approach is unproven and must demonstrate clear superiority over established plasma-based biomarkers in large trials.
The company faces intense competition from larger, more advanced diagnostics firms and must navigate significant regulatory and reimbursement hurdles to achieve commercial success.

Competitive Landscape

Pre Diagnostics competes in the rapidly evolving Alzheimer's blood test market dominated by companies developing plasma-based assays for biomarkers like p-tau and Aβ42/40. Key competitors include Fujirebio, Roche, Quanterix, and C2N Diagnostics. Pre's differentiation lies in its unique intracellular, functional measurement approach, but it is at an earlier stage of development.
