  • MRD If You Please: Diagnostics Targets Minimal Residual Disease

    Jan 19 | Diagnostics World News | At the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference last week, several diagnostics companies offered insight into their directions and plans for the coming year, and oncology diagnostics was a refrain. Across the space, test developers and researcher groups are turning their attention first to minimal residual disease (MRD) tests. Here we gather feedback from a few of the companies that presented last week. More

  • Cell-Free DNA Assay Could Make Routine Cancer Testing Feasible

    Jan 18 | Diagnostics World News | Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a blood test for monitoring cancer patients that could be done for as little as $35. The new Heatrich-BS assay sequences cell-free DNA in clinical samples that get heated to isolate cancer-specific signatures, according to Cheow Lih Feng, assistant professor at NUS’s Institute for Health Innovation & Technology and department of biomedical engineering.

  • Emerging Tech Aims to Remove Racial Bias from Blood Measurements

    Jan 17 | Diagnostics World News | A team of researchers is pursuing new technology to address racial disparities in blood measurements. The group ultimately hopes to develop a portable wearable device, like a monitor or watch, capable of accurately and non-invasively reading blood regardless of skin tone. More

  • At J.P. Morgan, Illumina CEO Outlines GRAIL’s Successful Year, Uncertain Future

    Jan 12 | Diagnostics World News | In a somewhat subdued presentation compared to years past, Illumina CEO Francis deSouza kicked off his annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference talk highlighting the breadth of the genomics market. deSouza sees a $120 billion total addressable market for Illumina, with oncology testing representing more than half of the opportunity.
