Licensing Opportunities
There are four different areas ready for disruptive commercialization:
1. Population cancer screening
Screening for cancer markers in asymptomatic populations. Sample types include:
- Liquid Biopsy (blood)
- Thin Prep (for gynecological cancer)
- Sputum
- Urine
- Stool
2. Treatment decisions for new or treated cancer patients
Cancer Tissue/Biopsy testing
- Identification of mutations for targeted chemotherapy
- Identification of splice variants for check point inhibitors
Liquid Biopsy
- Monitoring for recurrence of malignancy following chemotherapy and other treatments
3. Companion diagnostics
- Development of companion diagnostics for new targeted chemotherapies and check point inhibitors
- Patient selection for clinical trials, using splice variant targeting
4. Clonal variation
Clonal variation is one of the factors that contributes towards resistance to chemotherapy, due to inter-cellular and intra-cellular variations. Adoption of appropriate treatment modalities based on identifying these clonal variants has the potential to improve treatment outcomes.
