About BioPorto 

BioPorto is an in vitro diagnostics company focused on improving patient outcomes through innovative biomarker-based diagnostic solutions. Our product portfolio is built around NGAL (Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin), a biomarker associated with early risk assessment of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). NGAL has been studied across critical care settings, including intensive care and cardiac surgery populations, and supports earlier identification of patients at risk of AKI. 

BioPorto commercializes both FDA-cleared in vitro diagnostic (IVD) products and Research Use Only (RUO) products. The successful candidate must operate in accordance with applicable product labeling, intended use requirements, company policies, and regulatory standards.
