New cancer diagnostic device

“It’s the latest example of our expertise in the design and development of diagnostic instrumentation, coupled with our long track record of helping clients bring innovative products to market fast. In this case it has helped create a device that has the potential to increase understanding of cancer – and, ultimately, improve patient care.”

“At Clearbridge BioMedics we aim to bring clarity to cancer, by allowing each and every patient to benefit from timely, tailored treatment,” said Johnson Chen, managing director of Clearbridge BioMedics. “Real-time monitoring of a patient’s CTCs allows clinicians to develop the best treatment at the right time. By matching treatments to the patient, they benefit from optimal treatment outcomes, with fewer negative side effects and lower costs.”

“Beyond improving patient stratification, such minimally invasive tools provide unique vistas into studying the characteristics of cancer cells in circulation. It is anticipated that the CTC CoRE will bring together state-of-the-art microfluidic technologies, next-generation molecular diagnostics and cutting-edge clinical science – ultimately to improve cancer care.”
