ABOUT US
Harnessing the power of AI to revolutionize liver health
Founded in the heart of Silicon Valley (Mountain View, California), Karyon
Bio was born out of a deep commitment to tackling one of the most
pressing health challenges of our time—metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
In simple terms, it refers to the buildup of excess fat in the liver in people who drink little to no alcohol. MASLD affects a staggering 30% of the global population, and its symptoms often go undetected until they progress to advanced stages, leading to severe complications such as cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer. When combined with metabolic dysfunctions, the morbidity associated with MASLD increases exponentially, making early diagnosis and effective management critical.
Karyon Bio is building the next generation of agentic artificial intelligence
(AI) healthcare solutions that transform how complex diseases like MASLD are detected, understood, and managed. Partnering globally with hospitals, genome institutes and research labs, our pioneering AI-driven approach empowers clinicians, researchers, and ultimately patients to achieve desired results faster and more efficiently than ever before in history. It's a bold claim, which is why we encourage you to contact us and
discover for yourself why the future is here today with Karyon Bio.

Mission
To revolutionize liver disease diagnosis and treatment by harnessing the power of AI and multi-omics technologies — providing early, accurate and non-invasive solutions that empower healthcare providers and improve patient outcomes worldwide.
Vision
To lead the global fight against liver diseases by becoming the foremost innovator in AI-driven diagnostics, ensuring early detection and personalized care for all. Join us on our journey as we work to bring hope and healing to those affected by liver diseases, harnessing the power of AI to create a healthier world.
The scientific rationale:
A new frontier in diagnostics
A new frontier in diagnostics
Taking the pain (literally) out of liver disease detection/treatment.
Very approachable
Traditional methods of detecting liver diseases—such as liver
biopsies—are invasive, costly, and carry risks for patients. Moreover, they
often fail to provide comprehensive Read more
Unique solutions demand unique intelligence
By seamlessly integrating multi-omics, imaging, clinical, EHR, and other real-world data, our diagnostic tools offer a holistic view of the molecular underpinnings of MASLD.
This multi-layered approach enables us to detect early biomarkers of
disease, predict its progression, and tailor treatment plans to the unique
needs of each patient.

A new type of platform
Our proprietary AI-driven platform leverages advanced machine-learning
algorithms to analyze vast amounts of clinical data, imaging results, and
biomedical literature. There is
no reliance on ‘off-the-shelf’ AI that is not designed for the specific
requirements of combatting liver disease.
This allows us to identify subtle patterns and correlations that might go unnoticed, leading to more precise and timely diagnoses. By doing so, we
empower healthcare providers with the insights they need to intervene
early when treatments are most effective and to monitor the disease with unprecedented accuracy.
