For co-founders Amogha Tadimety and Alison Burklund, the idea of starting Nanopath, a women-focused molecular diagnostic company, came from a need to create a company focused on women’s health diagnoses based on their own experiences. They said they wanted to make sure women can get proper diagnoses because scientifically, there’s no reason they shouldn’t.

“We understand the disease biology, we just don’t have the appropriate tools to characterize the bugs that are causing these problems,” Burklund told TechCrunch in an interview. “You don’t just want to know, is there an infection? You want to know what bug is causing the infection. Is it susceptible to antibiotics? What is the relative concentration of that pathogen, those are all necessary criteria for a clinician to make a decision on treatment.”
