At Lucid Diagnostics, we believe early detection will make esophageal cancer a disease of the past. We're using next generation sequencing to fundamentally change the way esophageal precancer is detected. Our groundbreaking EsoGuard DNA test assesses genes from cells collected from the esophagus in a quick, non-invasive procedure. This gives clinicians the ability to detect disease before it progresses to cancer, all without the need for sedation. We're focused on making a difference in patient care and we are seeking ambitious team members who do the same.
