Breast cancer risk prediction technology using genomic classifier

Breast cancer risk prediction technology using genomic classifier

Unmet Need The earliest form of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), is diagnosed in almost 50,000 people in the U.S. each year. DCIS is considered noninvasive, as abnormal cells have not spread out…

A genomics-based method to identify cancer patients that will benefit from immune checkpoint therapy

A genomics-based method to identify cancer patients that will benefit from immune checkpoint therapy

Unmet Need Non-small-cell lung cancer accounts for 82% of all lung cancer diagnoses. Immune checkpoint blockade treatment is an exciting new course of action among advanced stage non-small-cell lung cancer patients. However, only a minority…

Genomic Biomarkers of Locally Advanced Breast Cancer (LABC) and Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC)

Genomic Biomarkers of Locally Advanced Breast Cancer (LABC) and Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC)

Unmet Need Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) and inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) are associated with high 5-year mortality rates (respectively 55% and 33%), especially when compared to early-stage breast cancers (~80%). LABC and IBC are…

A method of identifying a B cell malignancy as Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

A method of identifying a B cell malignancy as Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Unmet Need Malignancies derived from mature B cells are common and constitute the majority of blood cancers. The biology of these leukemias and lymphomas reflect defined stages of normal B-cell differentiation. Correct diagnosis of B…

Optical device for in vivo assessment of tissues

Optical device for in vivo assessment of tissues

Value Proposition Fluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrum are increasingly being investigated for tissue characterization. These biological scatterers, absorbers, and fluorophores may be used to indicate the existence of certain diseases.…

A computational algorithm-based method for extracting intrinsic fluorescence properties of tissue

A computational algorithm-based method for extracting intrinsic fluorescence properties of tissue

Value Proposition Fluorescence spectroscopy has been used successfully to discriminate premalignancy and malignancy in a number of organ sites. However, due to the complex interplay of absorption, scattering, and fluorescence in tissue, it is difficult…

Fiber optic probes with self-calibration capability for tissue optical spectroscopy

Fiber optic probes with self-calibration capability for tissue optical spectroscopy

Value Proposition UV-visible (UV-VIS) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) is sensitive to the absorption and scattering properties of biological molecules in tissue and thus can be used as a noninvasive in vivo tool to obtain quantitative…

Prognostic and predictive blood-based biomarkers for pancreatic cancer

Prognostic and predictive blood-based biomarkers for pancreatic cancer

Value Proposition Pancreatic cancer is among the deadliest types of cancer, with only 8.2% of patients surviving five years after diagnosis. Therapeutics that inhibit either VEGF signaling pathways or mitogenic signaling through the epidermal growth…
