<p>The funding will advance the clinical validation and commercialization of Curve’s Whole-Body Intelligence platform to transform chronic disease monitoring.</p>
<p>Curve has created the first molecular blueprint of the human body with the company’s Whole-Body Atlas — the world’s largest collection of manually curated tissue samples characterized by organ and disease state. By returning to tissue-level biological truth, the company is creating simple, proactive Whole-Body Blood Tests that anticipate chronic disease, guide treatment, and align patients, insurers, pharma, and doctors.</p>
<p>“Chronic diseases are on the rise, and healthcare costs are skyrocketing as a result. We need to improve patient monitoring to realize the positive impacts of breakthroughs like GLP-1s,” said Ritish Patnaik, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder, Curve Biosciences. “To raise the standard of chronic disease monitoring, we are now introducing the first Whole-Body Intelligence platform with AI models trained on our Whole-Body Atlas and fueled by our Whole-Body Blood Tests. We’ve paired this platform with a successful executive team to realize our vision for proactive, personalized chronic care that minimizes suffering.”</p>
<p>Curve’s executive team includes:</p>
