Investment News – BIRAC SEED Fund

Healthcare startup Kozhnosys at Venture Center has raised seed funding from the BIRAC SEED Fund hosted at Venture Center.

Kozhnosys is a biomedical devices start-up working on the development of a routine screening device for cancer. The company is working towards developing a breath-based breast cancer screening device called ‘CanScan’, which is designed to detect breast cancer as early as stage 1. Unlike mammography, this is a simple, safe, painless, and non-invasive technique that analyses the exhaled breath of a person and detects breast cancer markers. The seed fund investment from BIRAC will be utilised for testing the prototype and conducting a wider observational study of exhaled breath of breast cancer patients.
