Validation of Stability and Accuracy of Antibodies and AI/ML Algorithm for Prostate Diagnostic Test$500Kvalue2021start2023end

The Nanostics project involves validation of novel biomarkers for ClarityDx Prostate, a prostate cancer diagnostic test that significantly improves the standard of care for prostate cancer from a standard blood draw.

Validation of Accuracy of Bladder Cancer Diagnostic Test Using Biomarkers and AI/ML Algorithms$500Kvalue2023start2025end

Bladder cancer is the 6th most common cancer in men and the 17th most common cancer in women globally. Early diagnosis of bladder cancer is very important as it is associated with a higher survival rate, for both men and women. There is currently no clinically relevant detection test for bladder cancer. The goal of the Firm's bladder cancer project is to develop a highly accurate test that can detect clinically significant bladder cancer using machine learning and our extracellular vesicle (EV) detection platform. Similar to our successful prostate project we will first validate our selected b
