BioMark Receives $825K Grant to Develop Its Liquid Biopsy Assay for Lung Cancer Screening
Summary
The large sample size will help include important clinical parameters and identify additional metabolites that might be incorporated in the assay to further improve the test specificity. The teams are formed around a vibrant cluster which focus on validation and accelerated translation of the outcome to enable physicians have better access to diagnostic tools designed to positively impact cancer care management. This cross pollination of team members will mitigate scientific risks and ultimately drive clinical adoption required for commercialization," says BioMarks CEO Rashid Ahmed Bux. In addition, Rashid Ahmed Bux states that BioMark is also working on other sponsored research studies in Quebec that will be important and integrative with its long-term strategy related to early diagnosis of lung cancer. Spark Grants will support the development of new partnerships and the exploration of highly novel concepts, involving researchers from any research area, and particularly from non-traditional cancer fields, such as engineering, AI, robotics, physics, nanoscience, statistics, informatics, computer and data sciences, behavioural science, and any other discipline poised to seed the next generation of disruptive technologies in cancer control.
