Marlene Pinzi, Ph.D.

We’re on a mission to bridge the gap to accessible medical care by empowering patients with chronic diseases to manage their health anytime, anywhere. Today, millions of patients struggle with the burden of frequent hospital visits, high travel costs, and the shortage of specialists, leading to treatment dropout and disease progression. We’re changing that. Acsiryo is developing a decentralized, mobile clinical testing and telemedicine platform designed to make ongoing health management more accessible and convenient. The platform automates key sample collection workflows, integrates existing point-of-care testing devices, and enables healthcare professionals to collaborate remotely and deliver actionable insights to patients. By integrating web-based monitoring, mobile automated testing systems, and specialist feedback, we make prevention and long-term care for CKD, diabetes, and hypertension a seamless part of a patient's life.

Selected from nearly 1,000 global applicants to join the Antler Japan Residency Program, where I worked alongside other entrepreneurs to develop and validate early-stage ideas. During the residency, I co-founded Acsiryo and secured pre-seed investment as part of Antler Japan’s Batch 3 cohort. Antler is a global early-stage venture capital firm investing in the defining technology companies of tomorrow.
