Canary Center at the Stanford School of Medicine

**Our Vision: To save lives through early detection.** **The Canary Center's mission is to develop minimally invasive imaging and diagnostic techniques to detect and predict diseases at early, curable stages, and to develop treatments tailored for early-stage interventions and prevention.** In 2024, the Canary Center at the Stanford School of Medicine’s vision has been elevated to include precision treatment as well as early detection. The focus on the early detection of cancer is a foundational strength, and we are expanding our vision to include other disease foci including neurology and cardiology. Our mission is to meet clinical needs with both in vivo and in vitro diagnostics and delivery technologies developed by the deep engineering expertise that we have at Stanford University. Together, we can develop innovative and cost-effective new approaches for early detection and coupled precision treatments that are enabled by the fusion of engineering and medicine, empowering people to steer their own choices to lead healthy lives.
