Karius
Karius sees a world where infectious disease is no longer a major threat to human health. To achieve this, the Karius Test uses genomics and AI to map a patient’s microbial landscape from a single blood sample to enable clinicians to make rapid treatment decisions.
Purpose
Karius is a life sciences company focused on saving lives. We are committed to advancing diagnostic science and technology to optimize treatment for infectious disease.
The Karius Test® is a liquid biopsy for infectious diseases. From a single blood sample, the Karius Test can non-invasively and rapidly detect over 1,000 pathogens associated with both deep-seated and bloodstream infections. The Karius Test may help clinicians avoid many invasive, low-yield, and sequential diagnostic tests that can delay treatment for vulnerable hospitalized patients.

Vision
Karius is a venture-backed life science startup focused on transforming the way infectious diseases are diagnosed. Combining Next-Generation Sequencing and proprietary data analysis, we can identify over 1,000 pathogens from a single blood sample with typical turnaround time in one business day. By unlocking the information present in microbial cell-free DNA, we're helping doctors quickly solve their most challenging cases, with a future vision of accelerating clinical trials, discovering new microbes, and reducing patient suffering worldwide
Mission
We strive to deliver unprecedented insight to enable clinicians to make rapid life-saving treatment decisions.
