About

Moonlight AI is a Swiss diagnostics startup founded in 2022 and headquartered in Courroux, in the Swiss canton of Jura 12. The company applies computer vision to routine hematology and cytology smear images — the same slides labs already prepare in their core workflows — to detect therapeutically relevant genomic biomarkers without traditional laboratory sequencing 13. Initial disease focus areas include myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), non-small cell lung cancer, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) 34. The company was co-founded by Christian Ruiz (CEO), Nicole H. Romano (CTO), and Dr. Stefan Habringer (CMO), and validated its early platform in collaboration with University Hospital Basel 12.
