Calviri Named Arizona Bioscience Company of the Year
Calviri, a Phoenix, Arizona based company with a mission to end cancer worldwide and to accomplish this mission with affordable products, has been named the Arizona Bioscience Company of the Year and will be celebrated at the 20th annual AZBio Awards on September 18, 2024 at the Phoenix Convention Center.
Calviri was formed in 2017 to end cancer. The team was convinced this could be done as they had discovered a previously unappreciated, yet fundamental, molecular characteristic of all tumors that distinguishes them from healthy host cells. Calviri also invented chip technologies that would leverage their discovery to uniquely battle cancer. After years of research and many patents, Calviri is now developing multi-cancer tests to accurately detect stage 1 disease, which can be treated with its early-stage therapeutic vaccines. Calviri’s research has also shown them the path to the seeming impossible: a preventative cancer vaccine. All rooted in the power of Calviri’s molecular discoveries and semiconductor inventions, the company is now ready to globally provide diagnostics and vaccines that will end cancer. Full stop.
