About Klinrisk
At Klinrisk, we’re transforming how chronic disease is predicted, diagnosed, and managed. Klinrisk is setting a new precedent in prognosis, using clinically validated AI to turn routine lab test results into actionable insights. Built on the groundbreaking research of Dr. Navdeep Tangri, a globally recognized leader in disease risk prediction, Klinrisk bridges world-class science with real-world impact. In the past twelve months, the company has accelerated rapidly, achieving European approval (CE Mark) in partnership with Roche for the Kidney Klinrisk Algorithm, announcing a strategic collaboration with Renvio to embed predictive intelligence directly into kidney care workflows, and completing a successful fundraise to support ambitious team growth. As Klinrisk scales across healthcare systems, this is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing company at the forefront of AI-powered medicine and help shape the future of patient care.
