Single-Molecule Analysis by Shape (SMASH) as an Ultra-sensitive Blood Test for Cancer Biomarkers

Unmet Need / Invention Novelty: Early cancer detection leads to increased survival rates in patients. However, current biomarker assays to detect circulating tumor DNA and proteins lack the sensitivity needed to detect the earliest stages of cancer development.Technical Details: Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a novel assay to detect circulating...

Early Cancer Detection by Single-molecule Imaging of Nucleocytoplasmic Tumor-specific Proteins in the Peripheral Circulation

Unmet Need / Invention Novelty: Due to lack of effective early detection modalities, ovarian and pancreatic cancers are rarely found until the disease has progressed and hence are highly lethal. To overcome these limitations we report an ultra-sensitive microfluidic chip designed to bind and digitally quantify tumor-derived cancer proteins for an early...
