About Us

We are tackling one of the largest problems in healthcare. In autoimmune conditions, a common clinical practice includes trial-and-error approaches to determine the right therapy for a patient. At Scipher Medicine, we are developing an innovative portfolio of personalized medicine solutions in complex diseases. Scipher's platform identifies and guides physicians towards a more targeted approach to determine the best treatment for their patients, based on their patient’s own fundamental disease biology. We have a growing pipeline of products that are currently being developed and the potential to predict which therapies patients will respond to, ensuring optimal treatment is prescribed from day one.

This includes PrismRA, a precision medicine test that helps guide healthcare providers’ treatment decisions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Pipeline indications span the autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases space. Learn more about Scipher at https://www.sciphermedicine.com/.
