Microfluidic Strategy for Circulating Tumour Cells Analysis in Cancer Patients [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Muhammad Shiddiky (Principal investigator)

Brief description My approach and ultimate goal over the next 4 years is to demonstrate the use of recently discovered “Nanoshearing” technology as a standard diagnostic tool for cancer patients undergoing systemic therapy and assess the impact of standard protocols in predicting response to therapy and patient outcomes. Data from this study could potentially define new standards of clinical practice, as they relate to follow-up screening for response to therapy and recurrence of disease.
