About

“There’s no more noble cause than pursuit of human health and happiness for all.”

Our mission

Earlier detection only matters if people can access it.

At AIRA Sciences, we believe multi-cancer screening and detection should be accurate, non-invasive, simple, accessible and affordable.

So people can live life fully.

Leadership

Who leads the company.

Dr. Scott Tackett

Chief Executive Officer & President

A health economist and healthcare strategist whose work centers on implementation science — the question of why proven evidence takes so long to reach everyday clinical practice, and what has to change for it to arrive sooner.

Dr. Liberty Foreman

Founder, Chief Innovation Officer & Chair of the Board

Founded the science behind AIR-DS and leads the company’s product and platform roadmap and its long-term direction, working on infrared spectroscopy applied to earlier cancer detection.

Our story

How AIRA Sciences began.

Our work started from a question rather than a technology: what would a cancer test have to look like for it to reach the people who are not currently being screened at all?

AIRA Sciences develops infrared-based approaches to earlier cancer detection. The company brings together scientific development, clinical evidence generation and implementation research, with an initial focus on lung cancer.

The name takes its influence from the AIR-DS product family, which combines AI with infrared spectroscopy, and stands for Advanced InfraRed Application Sciences.
