About Us

Karius sees a world where infectious disease is no longer a major threat to human health.

With the Karius Test®, we deliver unprecedented diagnostic insight to enable physicians to make rapid treatment decisions.

We are a team of clinicians, molecular biologists, data scientists, software engineers, and commercial experts drawn together by a shared commitment to improve patient health.


By using genomics and AI to map a patient’s microbial landscape from a single blood draw, Karius moves closer to a vision of a world where infectious disease is no longer a major threat to human health.

The Karius Test has been adopted by leading hospitals and transplant centers throughout the US
