Diagnostics World | In a proof-of-concept study, a platform integrating nanomedicine with artificial intelligence (AI) and “actual causality” analysis succeeded in pinpointing a pair of proteins thought to play key roles in the development of metastatic prostate cancer and atherosclerosis. The technology is the basis of a biotech company launching today that will use the same approach to identify potential biomarkers and drugs for treating a wide range of catastrophic diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases as well as different types of cancers.

Diagnostics World | A growing number of promising young companies are developing tests that are particularly good at picking up early cancer, initially for a single type of cancer but with the potential to eventually be extended to multiple cancer types. A handful of these startups will be spotlighted at the upcoming Next Generation Dx Summit .

Diagnostics World | Molecular testing for minimal residual disease (MRD) is increasingly being used to detect cancer recurrence, and to that end many companies are actively developing assays. The tumor-informed approach based on the genetic mutations of patients has been particularly popular and often employs cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and more specifically circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis.

Diagnostics World | For patients who suffer negative health consequences from a delayed diagnosis, new-to-the-scene digital microfluidics (DMF) technology for multifunctional testing can literally save lives. A standout in the field is Baebies (Durham, North Carolina), which has developed a pair of such platforms cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intended for rapid point-of-care testing to aid diagnostic testing in newborns.
