About us

Trears Biomarkers is focused on transforming how chronic conditions are detected, monitored, and managed. We develop medical devices and biomarker platforms that capture long-term biological levels, overcoming the limitations of point-in-time blood or saliva testing.

We operate at the intersection of clinical science, diagnostics, and digital health, with applications across metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular risk, stress biology, and other chronic disease pathways. Our company is headquartered in London & Chile and collaborates with academic, clinical, and industry partners in the, highly specialised multidisciplinary team

Business HQ: UK and Chile.

Turnover: Pre-revenue (R&D and validation phase II)

Why Trears?

Trears is differentiated by its unique biomarker matrix and clinical philosophy:

  • Proprietary earwax-based biomarker platform enabling long-term biological measurement

  • Non-invasive, low-burden sampling designed for repeated and real-world use

  • Strong scientific and clinical grounding, including peer-reviewed validation

  • Focus on chronic disease monitoring rather than single time-point diagnostics

  • Zero reported safety incidents across development and testing phases

  • Sustainability-aligned materials and patient-centric device design

Trears does not aim to be a general diagnostics provider.

We specialise in long-term physiological insight for chronic conditions, where conventional testing performs poorly.

In other words, we are listening.
