What they do

Their core work

Atturos is an Irish SME specializing in predictive diagnostics and precision medicine, particularly protein-based blood tests that help clinicians predict treatment response and disease progression. Their core capability lies in developing predictive algorithms and biomarker-based diagnostic tools for chronic inflammatory and metabolic diseases. They contribute data analytics and predictive modeling expertise to large European health consortia focused on psoriasis, obesity, and endocrine-related conditions.

Core expertise

What they specialise in

Predictive diagnostics and biomarker blood testsprimary
3 projects

OCProDx focused on commercializing a multiplexed protein diagnostic blood test; HIPPOCRATES and SOPHIA apply predictive models to treatment response.

Inflammatory disease modeling (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis)primary
1 project

HIPPOCRATES (EUR 675K, their largest project) builds predictive models for treatment response and early diagnosis in psoriatic diseases.

Obesity phenotyping and treatment algorithmssecondary
1 project

SOPHIA develops when-to-treat and how-to-treat algorithms using federated databases and shared value analysis for obesity.

Endocrine disruptor screening and in-vitro modelssecondary
1 project

SCREENED uses 3D cell culture, organoids, and organ-on-chip technology to screen endocrine-disrupting chemicals affecting thyroid function.

Evolution & trajectory

How they've shifted over time

Early focus
Diagnostic commercialization and bioassays
Recent focus
Predictive treatment algorithms

Atturos began with a focus on in-vitro biological models and endocrine disruptor screening (SCREENED, 2019), involving advanced lab technologies like 3D cell culture, bioprinting, and organ-on-chip. Their more recent projects (SOPHIA 2020, HIPPOCRATES 2021) show a decisive shift toward clinical predictive analytics — treatment algorithms, patient stratification, and federated health databases. The trajectory moves clearly from laboratory screening toward patient-facing precision medicine tools.

Atturos is moving toward data-driven precision medicine, building predictive tools that match patients to optimal treatments — a growing need across chronic disease management.

Collaboration profile

How they like to work

Role: specialist_contributorReach: European14 countries collaborated

Atturos primarily operates as a specialist partner in large research consortia rather than leading them. Their single coordination role was a small SME Phase 1 feasibility study (EUR 50K), while their participant roles involve substantial multi-partner projects. With 68 unique partners across 14 countries, they integrate well into large European consortia and bring focused analytical capabilities to broader clinical research efforts.

Atturos has built an extensive network of 68 unique partners across 14 countries through just 4 projects, reflecting their participation in large health consortia. Their reach spans broadly across Europe with no narrow geographic clustering.

Why partner with them

What sets them apart

Atturos occupies a specific niche as a diagnostics SME that bridges biomarker discovery and clinical decision-making. Unlike academic partners who focus on disease mechanisms, Atturos brings a commercialization lens — their founding project was explicitly about strategic planning for market entry of a diagnostic blood test. For consortium builders, they offer a rare combination: an SME with real diagnostic product ambitions that can also contribute predictive analytics to clinical research programs.

Notable projects

Highlights from their portfolio

  • HIPPOCRATES
    Their largest funded project (EUR 675K) targeting predictive models for psoriatic arthritis treatment — a major unmet clinical need with direct diagnostic product potential.
  • SCREENED
    A technically diverse project combining organoids, bioprinting, and organ-on-chip for thyroid disruptor screening — shows Atturos can operate across advanced biological model technologies.
  • OCProDx
    Their only coordinated project and origin story — a Phase 1 feasibility study for commercializing a multiplexed protein diagnostic blood test.

Analysis note: Profile based on 4 projects with moderate funding variation. OCProDx had no keywords in the data, limiting early-period analysis. The very low SOPHIA funding (EUR 2,727) suggests Atturos may have a minor or third-party-like role in that consortium despite being listed as participant. Website data was unavailable to verify current product status or commercial activities beyond H2020.
