Federated cloud-based Artificial Intelligence-driven platform for liquid biopsy analyses KU Leuven
Universal, cost-effective and hypersensitive open-source technology platform for liquid biopsy based on methylome profiling of circulating DNA. Ghent University
The methylation pattern of DNA released by dying cells in body-fluids is specific to each (pathological) cell type. Therefore, it constitutes a universal source of diagnostic information. Together, we are building a molecular-biological methylation-profiling technology, innovating for higher-sensitivity detection of low-abundance methylation patterns. Simultaneously, we maintain a feasible cost for clinical use, and we test the technology in ...

A new photoelectrochemical singlet oxygen-based detection platform for a panel of cancer biomarkers in tissue and liquid biopsies (SOCAN) Ghent University
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. SOCAN will contribute to the (early) diagnosis and follow up of cancer via a new detection paradigm, i.e. singlet oxygen-based photoelectrochemical detection of cancer biomarkers. Those biomarkers are increasingly discovered and validated, but the detection necessitates rapid, accurate and sensitive devices. To achieve this, the combined use of ...
