About FLASH Tissue Diagnostics GmbH

What if we could see disease processes at the cellular level in intact, whole tissue – without cutting it up? FLASH Tissue Diagnostics’ (FLASH TD) proprietary technology, known as the FLASH method, offers a unique solution for improving tissue transparency and enables precise detection of individual cells and subcellular components. The company places a strong focus on improving the analysis of sentinel lymph nodes – a crucial tool in cancer diagnostics – which offers significant advantages in terms of cost efficiency, diagnostic accuracy, and reduced mortality rates. Moreover, FLASH TD leverages its technology in the emerging field of 3D spatial biology, where tissue-clearing technology supports research on organoids and animal models. This drives innovation in disease modeling, drug discovery, and personalized medicine. With the growing market for organoid-based applications, FLASH TD is well-positioned to support advances in this field. FLASH TD’s business model focuses on rapid commercialization of its technology through strategic partnerships with established pathology companies. Through these collaborations, FLASH TD can generate early revenue with Research Use Only (RUO) products while simultaneously paving the way for broader applications in in vitro diagnostics (IVD). The company’s core strength lies in its ability to enhance existing pathology platforms, thus driving automation and efficiency within the industry. In summary, FLASH TD is at the forefront of a rapidly growing pathology market with disruptive technology that has enormous potential to improve cancer diagnostics and research. Thanks to strong market demand, strategic partnerships, and an innovative product offering, FLASH TD is excellently positioned to assume a leadership role in the evolving 3D pathology and research landscape.

EpiCure

EpiCure is a research project of Ludwig Maximilians University Munich and is scheduled to be incorporated as an independent biotech company in 2026/2027. The focus is on epigenetic therapies, a mechanism of action that still holds considerable untapped potential in oncology. The lead compound is Carbacitabin (CAB), a drug molecule rationally designed on the basis of epigenetic expertise for blood cancer diseases, primarily positioned for high-risk patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). CAB was specifically developed to address the weaknesses of clinically used standard therapeutics, and achieves approximately 100-fold reduced toxicity in patient-derived tumor models while simultaneously demonstrating superior efficacy. The regulatory foundation is in place: The BfArM has confirmed the preclinical development program in Scientific Advice. The first clinical trial is planned for 2027/28.

ProviGenAI

ProviGenAI develops a software platform for automated experiments and data-driven process optimization. Many laboratories and biotechnology development environments already have extensive automation in place, yet the planning, evaluation, and adaptation of experiments continues to be done manually. Our platform combines automated laboratory workflows with AI-based optimization. It translates experimental protocols into executable workflows, orchestrates experiments on existing automation systems, and analyzes the resulting data to continuously improve parameters. This creates closed learning loops between experiment, analysis, and decision-making. Teams can optimize biotechnological processes—such as fermentation, screening, or bioprocess development—significantly faster and more efficiently.
