About Francesco Cutrale

Francesco Cutrale is CTO / Co-Founder at Kulia Labs. Location: Pasadena, California, United States.

As a scientist, entrepreneur, and innovator, I specialize in developing cutting-edge imaging technologies to push the boundaries of biomedical research and human health. With expertise in hyperspectral, multiplexed, and multimodal imaging and AI, my work bridges the gap between groundbreaking research and practical solutions. As Co-Founder and CTO of Kulia Labs, I'm developing hyperspectral imaging and AI platforms designed for population-scale health screening, starting with cancer detection. At Lena Labs, I'm building next-generation multimodal imaging systems for ophthalmology. Both companies are grounded in technology I co-invented over a decade of research. On the academic side, my work has been recognized globally, influencing research in labs worldwide and making a tangible difference in healthcare technology, with high-impact publications and multiple patents. Driven by a multidisciplinary background in Biomedical Physics and Engineering, I strive to create imaging tools that enhance our understanding of biological systems and ultimately improve human health.
