About us

Cyted is on a mission to build a world where disease is prevented rather than treated. We focus on providing innovative diagnostic technologies to drive the earlier detection of disease in the gastrointestinal tract, first focused on oesophageal cancer (and its precursor Barrett’s oesophagus) with a non-endoscopic, minimally-invasive test. 

Headquartered in Cambridge UK, we lead the way in groundbreaking diagnostic technology, enhancing patient care for those at risk of early and advanced disease. We are on the lookout for talented individuals eager to make a meaningful impact. We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups and those with unconventional educational or career backgrounds.

Our core product is the minimally invasive EndoSign test. The test is a combination of a simple device coupled with laboratory biomarkers to detect oesophageal cancer and its precursor Barrett’s oesophagus. Click here to find out more. 

We offer a dynamic work environment for career growth and skill diversification. Alongside your core role you can gain experience on projects throughout the company, and contribute your opinions and ideas. Our commitment to inclusion and diversity drives us to embrace varied perspectives, promoting diagnostic excellence, user-friendly software, and superior patient outcomes.

We interview on a rolling basis, starting with a brief call to discuss what we’re doing and whether it resonated with you.
