MONCYTE Health Oy
About
MONCYTE Health has a unique proprietary technology to quantify individual differences in cellular lipid uptake and storage which contribute to high blood cholesterol and the effectiveness of common lipid-lowering drugs.
The readouts are derived from white blood cells, including monocytes, which play key roles in atherosclerotic plaque formation and inflammation, linking directly to cardiovascular risk. Precisely quantifying these individual differences enables personalized treatment strategies in combination with risk assessment which can help patients more effectively achieve optimal blood cholesterol levels faster, and thereby reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease.
The technology also provides insight for pharmaceutical companies about how novel lipid-lowering drugs influence the cellular processes contributing to cardiovascular risk.
