About Us

Better Diagnostics, Better Life

AnchorDx, established in Guangzhou International Bio Island in 2015, has set up R&D centers in China and the United States. It is committed to the R&D, production and sales of early cancer screening and diagnosis products using internationally leading high-throughput methylation sequencing and is able to provide the corresponding detection services. The founder, Dr. Jianbing Fan, is an international leading figure in the field of genetic testing, was included in the 2021 "World's Top 2% Scientists - Lifetime Scientific Impact List" and has  30 years of experience in the development of human genomics, Microarrays and high-throughput sequencing technologies.

AnchorDx is a pioneer of applying ctDNA high-throughput methylation sequencing technology in early detection of tumors in China. Focusing on two major lines: "a tube of blood" and "a tube of urine", AnchorDx has developed products covering more than 70% of high-incidence cancers, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, digestive system cancer and urinary system cancer, throughout the process of early cancer screening, early diagnosis, recurrence monitoring and companion diagnostics.

In addition, AnchorDx also has independently developed a big data and AI platform centered on early screening, early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. By now, AnchorDx has applied for 82 patents at home and abroad (32 patented), all of which are proprietary and original. Its scientific research findings have been included in many important international academic journals, laying an important foundation for global commercialization.
