Syan Biosciences

Syan Biosciences was a private Maryland diagnostics biotechnology company founded in 2006 by Loleta Robinson and Colleen Nye. The company focused on developing a lab-on-a-chip, biomarker-based in vitro diagnostic platform intended for point-of-care testing, with applications in diseases including melanoma, cancer, and heart disease. Publicly available descriptions indicate the company worked on protein chip prototype development in collaboration with University of Maryland-associated researchers and aimed to commercialize handheld diagnostic products while also licensing the technology to biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Later descriptions of the company emphasize novel biomarkers for early melanoma detection. Maryland corporate records indicate the entity is forfeited and not in good standing, suggesting it is no longer active as an operating company.
