Our origin story

The first step in the digital diagnostics revolution

Techcyte began with an idea for a new blood cell classification system by Dr. Mohamed Salama at the University of Utah in 2013. With Dr. Salama’s vision and a collaborative relationship with ARUP, Techcyte started transforming the way we solve problems in clinical pathology.

By combining the knowledge and skills of lab professionals and pathologists with the latest deep machine learning technologies, we equip labs with futuristic digital diagnostic solutions that can be deployed today.
