Israeli biotech Senseera raises $7.1 million Seed round for liquid biopsy platform
Senseera, a Jerusalem-based biotech company, has secured $7.1 million in Seed funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with contributions from I-Next Capital and the Lowy Medical Research Institute. The funds will be used to advance Senseeras GEM BIOMARKERS liquid biopsy platform, which aims to enhance diagnostics in oncology, immunology, and liver disease management. The platform uses cfChIP-seq technology to provide biopsy-level precision through a simple blood test, potentially improving diagnosis and management of conditions like liver diseases and cancer. The funding will accelerate clinical development, expand partnerships with global biopharma companies, and support additional clinical trials.

Futuristic Israeli blood test could replace cancer screening in decade: inventor
Hebrew University scientists have developed a blood test that could replace nearly all cancer screenings within a decade. The test can detect not only whether a person has a tumor but also its exact location in the body. It analyzes DNA sequence and epigenetic information to provide detailed insights on genetic activity. The technology has been tested on 1,000 people in Israel and the US and has shown promising results. The test could lead to early detection of cancer and other diseases, potentially saving lives. The research has been published in the peer-reviewed journal, Nature Biotechnology.
