WHO WE ARE
Our vision at On Target Laboratories is to brighten the future for those fighting cancer by making cancer visible intraoperatively so it can be removed more completely with our cancer-targeted intraoperative molecular imaging agents.
We are an agile, tenacious, collaborative biotechnology start-up with a relentless focus on advancing real- time cancer imaging. Our end game is helping people fight cancer, boldly pushing boundaries to advance science, technology, and humanity.
Our intraoperative molecular imaging agents, based on the pioneering work of Purdue University’s Philip S. Low, PhD, illuminate cancerous tissue, which may enable surgeons to detect more cancer that otherwise may have been left behind.
CYTALUX (pafolacianine) injection, On Target’s first product, received FDA approval for ovarian cancer in November 2021 and lung cancer in December 2022. For more information visit www.ontargetlabs.com and www.cytalux.com.
