About Mitra bio

At Mitra Bio, we’re not just a skin diagnostics start-up – we’re a skin revolution. Armed with the power of epigenomics, we’re shattering the norms of skin health by unlocking precious biological insights non-invasively.

Picture this: a world where skin data isn’t a secret locked behind invasive biopsies. Our mission? To disrupt the status quo and liberate skin data from its biopsy chains. Diagnostics and groundbreaking treatments demand skin’s innermost truths, and we’re delivering – no scalpel required.

We extract biological data from the skin using non-invasive sampling, next-generation sequencing and data science. The resulting platform is being used by some of the world’s leading skincare and pharmaceuticals to inform product efficacy and discovery of novel longevity molecules.

We are a seed-stage company backed by Illumina, Oxford University, Innovate UK as well as ex-founders from Rodan & Fields (Unicorn skincare brand), Wayve (self-driving cars) and CoverWallet.

We are a team of young innovators and scientists headquartered in London.
