Pathology is at the center of medicine and is undergoing a profound transformation as the final frontier of digitization in healthcare.

At Proscia, we push the limits of medicine and technology, solving problems the world has never solved before. We build software used by thousands of scientists and pathologists, who work on the front lines of fighting cancer for patients globally. To accelerate our vision, Proscia has raised over $100M in capital from world-class healthcare and technology investors.
