Microchip-based devices for the analysis of circulating prostate cancer markers
FY 2010-11
Summary
A new class of devices will be developed that may one day enable non-invasive screening for prostate cancer and the early detection of the disease. An approach relying on nanotechnology will be employed to produce very sensitive, accurate devices that will sense the presence of prostate cancer cells in the blood, and will analyze the aggressiveness of the disease by detecting molecules that can report on the type of tumour present.
