Tzu Cancer Therapeutics

LEADING THE FUTURE OF PERSONALIZED CANCER TREATMENT

Tzu Cancer Therapeutics is a biotechnology startup, inspired by the ancient Chinese philosopher and strategist Sun Tzu. Over 2,500 years ago, in the Art of War, he emphasized that knowing one’s enemy is essential to winning every battle. We believe that precise knowledge of the cells that cause metastases is the foundation of effective personalized cancer treatment.

Tzu was founded in July 2024 by Ronald Plasterk, Ronald Brus, and René Beukema. The goal of the company is to develop personalized therapies based on the molecular analysis of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs).
