Accelerating Endometriosis and Cervical Cancer Diagnostics:
From Complex Research to Scalable Platform

Hera Biotech is on a mission to transform women’s health with non-invasive, non-surgical solutions for conditions that have long been underdiagnosed or misunderstood, beginning with endometriosis and cervical cancer.

Launching with three full-time employees, Hera Biotech scaled to twelve contributors in one year, blending full-time and contractor roles. To accelerate progress, the team turned to MDisrupt, where they secured a computational biologist with rare expertise in single-cell and bulk assay design. This engagement became a turning point, helping the company validate complex data, generate new intellectual property, and advance the company’s diagnostic platform.

The Challenge

As Hera Biotech prepared to move from early-stage research to clinical translation, the team faced two critical obstacles:

  • Data Transparency & Validation
    Computational biology work inherited from academic collaborators was a “black box,” slowing progress and creating uncertainty in product development.
  • Specialized Expertise Gap
    Traditional data science support fell short. The company needed a computational biologist with deep domain expertise in single-cell assay design and translation to bulk platforms—skills essential for clinical adoption.

“We needed someone who could not only handle the science but explain it clearly and help us make real progress. That’s when we found Neil through MDisrupt.”
 — Somer Baburek, CEO, Hera Biotech


MDisrupt Solution + Impact

MDisrupt connected Hera Biotech with a computational biologist who quickly became a trusted team member, delivering structured outputs and anticipating both scientific and investor needs. With this expertise, Hera:

  • Validated single-cell datasets and uncovered critical data integrity issues.
  • Created new IP by translating single-cell assays into bulk formats—critical for scalability.
  • Advanced its product roadmap threefold, accomplishing in 18 months what had stalled over three years.
  • Produced investor-ready scientific materials that boosted confidence and stakeholder alignment.

Why It Matters

Hera Biotech’s experience using expert talent to solve go-to-market challenges illustrates how pairing deep domain expertise with early-stage innovation can dramatically shift timelines and outcomes. Partnering with MDisrupt enabled the company to clear technical hurdles, accelerate clinical readiness, and lay the foundation for continued innovation in women’s health diagnostics.
