We strive to revolutionize patient care by making nerves visible for every surgery.
Our technology, Nerve Trace, enables real-time visualization of nerves even when buried beneath tissues and blood, so surgeons and robots can cut by color.

Trace Biosciences has partnered with the top industry and clinical institutions around the world.
To date, our agents have been an excellent tool for over 50 collaborative studies, validating their use in all surgical specialties.
