First Lab-in-a-Briefcase to Boost Global Early Diagnosis of Cancer
To help boost early cancer detection rates worldwide, scientists have developed an all-in-one portable mini-laboratory for point-of-care cancer screening, rapid detection, and monitoring. The prototype successfully tested for prostate cancer, and can operate at even at high temperatures often found in remote areas without air-conditioned clinics. More...18 Nov 2015
Early Warning Biomarker Found for Chronic Kidney Disease
A simple blood test for a specific protein can predict a person's chances of developing chronic kidney disease five years before symptoms emerge, thus doing for kidney disease what cholesterol has done for cardiovascular disease. More...18 Nov 2015
Simple Affordable Diagnostic Kit Developed for Chikungunya
Chikungunya, a mosquito-borne illness that while not often deadly causes severe, incapacitating and often chronic joint pain, is spreading globally and it can be difficult to diagnose and most tests available now are expensive and challenging to develop. More...11 Nov 2015
