Crescendo Bioscience is developing a broad range of quantitative, objective diagnostic tools to provide Rheumatologists with deeper clinical insights to more effectively manage patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
The Company is initially focused on rheumatoid arthritis, a debilitating, highly variable, chronic disease affecting over 1.5 million patients in the US and more than 3 million in Europe.
