Who is Redefining Diagnostics?

Meet the Exactics Cofounders

Julian started building diagnostics at 13 years old after his best friend suffered for months with undiagnosed Lyme disease. Years later, at UChicago, Julian brought together his fraternity brothers and former lab partner to help him build affordable and accessible at-home diagnostic platforms.

Our Vision

Affordable. Accurate. Efficient.

A consumer-oriented approach to diagnostics—because early detection should be convenient.
