About Superfluid DX, Inc.

Superfluid is developing the first high-performance, blood-based test for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and related dementias off of a platform technology of cell-free mRNA analysis. This next-generation liquid biopsy technology enables non-invasive measurement of the dynamic biology of organs throughout the body, including the brain. Superfluid’s AD diagnostic can assess the underlying biology of disease and detect its presence early, when there is still time to act. Our precise understanding of the underlying pathways of disease enables more specific use of AD therapeutics and treatments which improves patient outcomes, reduces harmful side-effects, and is more cost effective for health systems.
