Understanding how tissues function and respond.
Yarra Biosystems is an early-stage life sciences technology company building a platform for spatial tissue analysis, beginning in oncology.

Biology read in place, not in isolation.
Tissue behaviour depends on context: which cells are present, where they sit, and how they relate to one another. Yarra Biosystems is building a platform that measures and interprets that context, beginning with oncology.
The company is based in Boulder, Colorado, and is developing the platform alongside academic and clinical collaborators.
Spatial biology
Measurement that keeps cellular observations in their tissue context.
Pathology
Grounded in how tissue is prepared and read in practice today.
Imaging
Advanced imaging and immunofluorescence to resolve signal across a section.
Intelligence layer
A developing analysis layer for interpretation of what is measured.
The company has taken part in university venture and commercialization programs, broadened its academic and technical network, and is pursuing non-dilutive funding.

Get in touchFour capabilities, one view of the tissue.
The platform brings together capabilities that are usually kept apart, so that measurement, established diagnostic practice, and analysis inform one another rather than sitting in separate workflows.
Spatial biology
Cells are measured where they sit. Retaining spatial position means the relationships between cell populations, structures, and their surroundings remain available for analysis instead of being averaged away.
Pathology
The work is anchored in how tissue is handled and read today. Staying close to established diagnostic practice keeps the platform interpretable to the people who already assess tissue.
Imaging and immunofluorescence
Advanced imaging and immunofluorescence resolve multiple signals across a section, giving the analysis layer a richer and more consistent record of the tissue to work from.
Intelligence layer
A developing analysis layer draws the measurements together into descriptions of tissue state that a scientist or clinician can reason about. It is under active development.
These pages describe the platform at a high level. Component-level and mechanism-level detail is shared with partners under confidentiality.
