Oncascan
| Project | The development of the lymphocyte genome sensitivity (LGS) test for the diagnosis of cancer |
|---|---|
| Description |
Oncascan is introducing a step change in cancer diagnosis and management. The patented Lymphocyte Genome Sensitivity (LGS) blood test uses increased sensitivity to ultra-violet induced DNA damage of lymphocytes from cancer patients to distinguish between those with and without the disease. The project aims to develop a practical system for use in clinical laboratories to improve the management of patients with suspected cancers. Before embarking on invasive and costly investigations, patients found to not have cancer can be identified with the obvious reduction for them in anxiety, discomfort, time off work and clinical risk. |

Astrimmune
| Project | Implementation and Validation of a novel test for pancreatic and other gastrointestinal cancers based on shed tumour cells in the blood |
|---|---|
| Description |
Astrimmune is developing a diagnostic test for pancreatic and other gastrointestinal cancers based on detection and profiling of shed tumour cells in the blood. Requiring only 6ml of blood, the test provides unique insight into surface markers and gene expression of pancreatic cancer cells; isolating these cells from blood allows detection before metastasis can occur. Survival rates of pancreatic cancer could be improved dramatically if early detection were possible. |
