Changing the Future of Healthcare with the Early Detection of Cancer
Abcodia
is a specialist company engaged in the discovery and verification of
biomarkers for cancer screening. Our mission is to change the way that
biomarkers are developed to allow the earlier diagnosis of cancer and

A unique serum bank
In 2001, the UKCTOCS trial began collecting serum samples from over 200,000 women volunteers; this serum bank now contains over 500,000 serum samples, including over 350,000 longitudinal samples. In addition to the serum, there is a comprehensive database of phenotypic, demographic and disease incidence for each volunteer. Abcodia works in close partnership with the Gynaecological Cancer Research Centre at UCL. Click here for more information about the GCRC.
