Launched “with the purpose of revolutionizing screening tests and early diagnosis,” Marom explained in conversation with CTech, the Israeli startup is pioneering non-invasive diagnostics based on breath biomarkers. It’s technology that holds particular significance for the early detection and future treatment of liver disease and lung cancer.
