Augurex is a clinical diagnostics leader advancing biomarker-driven solutions for the early detection and management of autoimmune diseases.

Augurex is a clinical diagnostics leader advancing biomarker-based tests for autoimmune diseases, enabling earlier, more precise detection and disease management to improve patient outcomes. Our lead products include JOINTstat® (14-3-3eta), which supports the diagnosis and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and SPINEstat™ (Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex), a first-in-class blood test that aids in the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and helps distinguish it from mechanical back pain. By enabling earlier, more precise diagnosis and better disease management, we empower clinicians and patients with the tools to take control of disease and improve long-term outcomes.

Augurex will be attending and presenting data at the British Society for Rheumatology 2026 Annual Meeting, April 28–30 in Glasgow, UK.

At BSR 2026, we will showcase our biomarker-driven diagnostic portfolio supporting earlier and more informed care decisions in inflammatory arthritis, including JOINTstat® (14-3-3eta) for the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and SPINEstat® (Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex), a first-in-class diagnostic designed to aid in the identification of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

We will be presenting three posters across both RA and axSpA:

- Validation of a 14-3-3η Autoantibody Assay Combined with CRP and HLA-B27 to Improve Axial Spondyloarthritis Detection
Poster number: P023 📅 April 28 | 🕒 10:30 AM – 11:10 AM

- Autoantibodies to 14-3-3η: A Novel Diagnostic Biomarker for Axial Spondyloarthritis
Poster number: P024 📅 April 28 | 🕒 10:30 AM – 11:10 AM

- High Specificity and Diagnostic Utility of Serum 14-3-3η in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Evidence from a Clinically Diverse Cohort
Poster number: P120 📅 April 28 | 🕒 3:15 PM – 3:55 PM

March 18th is World Young Rheumatic Diseases Day.

Young people living with rheumatic diseases often face delayed recognition of inflammatory symptoms, leading to prolonged uncertainty and delayed access to appropriate care.

At Augurex, we believe no young patient should wait years for answers. Reducing diagnostic delay in inflammatory arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis remains central to our mission, helping clinicians identify disease earlier and support more timely care decisions.

Early recognition matters. Early answers matter.

March is Autoimmune Awareness Month.

Autoimmune diseases are complex, often invisible, and frequently misunderstood. Delayed recognition can mean years without clear answers.

At Augurex, we are committed to reducing diagnostic delay and advancing biomarker-driven tools that support earlier identification of inflammatory disease and improved patient outcomes.

Greater awareness leads to better care.

February 2 marks Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Awareness Day, a time to recognize the millions of people around the world living with RA, a chronic autoimmune disease that affects far more than just the joints.

RA can bring daily pain, fatigue, and other challenges that are often invisible to others. With continued research, early diagnosis, and advances in treatment, we can help improve quality of life for everyone affected by RA.

At Augurex, we are proud to highlight our work in RA and our ongoing commitment to advancing diagnostic solutions that support rheumatologists and patients in improving outcomes and managing disease more effectively.

Let’s listen, support, and raise awareness. Because no one should have to navigate RA alone.

We’re honored to be featured by Moira Gunn of NPR’s BioTech Nation as one of her Top 5 JPM interviews.

In this special JPM edition, Augurex was highlighted alongside four other companies shaping the future of biotech, with a focus on our work to reduce diagnostic delay in chronic back pain and axial spondyloarthritis, where patients often wait 7–10 years for the right diagnosis.

Thank you to Moira Gunn and BioTech Nation for the opportunity to share how Augurex is changing the diagnostic journey for patients who deserve answers sooner.

We’re proud to share that the Spondylitis Association of America (SAA) has featured Augurex’s research from the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2025 conference in a new article and in their recent eSUN newsletter.

Both pieces spotlight new findings on SPINEstat® (Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex test) and its potential to improve early and accurate diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), a chronic inflammatory condition that is often difficult to identify in its early stages.

Through their coverage, SAA continues to deliver trusted education to the spondyloarthritis community, including raising awareness of innovations that can shorten diagnostic delays and guide timely, personalized care.

SAA’s recognition underscores our commitment to ending diagnostic delays in axSpA and supporting patients and their physicians in achieving better outcomes.

November 2–8 is National Pain Awareness Week, a time to recognize the millions of people living with chronic pain from conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

At Augurex, we stand with patients and clinicians working toward earlier diagnosis and better management of inflammation-driven pain. Through innovative biomarker-based diagnostics such as JOINTstat® for RA and SPINEstat® for axSpA, we help enable earlier detection of disease activity to support timely treatment decisions before pain leads to lasting joint or spinal damage.

Together, we can raise awareness, improve understanding, and help drive earlier, more targeted care for those affected by chronic inflammatory pain.

We’re excited to see RheumNow highlight Dr. Atul Deodhar’s perspective on biomarker discovery in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in their coverage from ACR Convergence 2025 in Chicago.

In this segment, Dr. Deodhar reviews Augurex’s new data presentations (one oral and two posters), which showcased promising data on the Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex Immunoassay Test improving early detection and aiding in more accurate clinical decision-making in patients with axSpA. In particular, the data highlighted the Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex Test complementing HLA-B27 and CRP, helping physicians better differentiate axSpA from mechanical back pain to support earlier, more confident diagnosis.
