Canary Science
Canary is the world's only non-profit focused solely on early cancer detection. We have multidisciplinary science teams focused on blood-based biomarkers or biological 'fingerprints' that show the presence or progress of disease.
We're pairing those biomarkers with advanced imaging technologies that will help us visualize a cancer type with more sensitivity and specificity.
Clinical Programs
Our active clinical program pages cover lung, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancer.
Where Canary Science is Happening
Lung Cancer
Never-smoker biomarkers, MD Anderson partnerships, and community outreach initiatives for early detection.
Ovarian Cancer
BRCA pre-cancer atlas and fallopian tube precursor studies for early detection biomarker development.
Pancreatic Cancer
Advanced ultrasound imaging and POCUS technology for early pancreatic cancer detection.
Prostate Cancer
PASS study with 2,400+ participants and PATROL genetic risk cohort advancing personalized screening.
Collaborations
Strategic partnerships across institutions, government agencies, corporations, and foundations worldwide.
Molecular Imaging
Photoacoustic imaging and microbubble contrast agents for precise tumor visualization.
Lung Cancer Program
Never-smoker biomarkers, MD Anderson partnerships, and community outreach initiatives.
Research Centers
To further ensure our success, we funded the Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection, a world-class facility that hopes to save lives through early detection. We also have a center of excellence in early cancer detection at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. The 'HUTCH' as it's called was the genesis for the Canary Foundation.
