After losing her mother to pancreatic cancer in 2004, Sara Ketterer began searching for an affordable and accurate cancer screening option. Unfortunately, there was nothing on the market that could provide meaningful results. She was telling Jeff Mitchell about her search in 2017, and he knew the solution immediately...dogs.

 

He had developed an odor amplification system a few years prior and knew it would be perfect for amplifying the odor of biomarkers for diseases in the human body. They began researching and realized scientists have been laying the groundwork for this detection method for years. Sara formed Dogtors Medical Research Charity Foundation in 2022 to fund the research. Dogtors is closer than ever to providing a non-invasive, affordable, accurate, in-home cancer screening test that simply requires a breath sample.

They can't do it alone, though. Medical research is expensive and your support is vital for continuing this incredible research.
