Visualizing Biomarker Molecules with High Sensitivity for Early Detection of Lung Cancer
Abstract
This project aims to detect the lung cancer biomarkers in water, the signature molecules that can be used to detect lung cancer. The detection is achieved by using a nanotechnological method. The nanotechnological method uses two different small particles to capture the signature molecules from the water and analyze the number of the molecules. This project will help lung cancer patients by detecting cancer early because the technology developed in this project can detect the lung cancer biomarkers, which further enables the early diagnosis of the lung cancer. This project is about the detection of lung cancer biomarkers from water. However, the actual biomarkers are in body fluids or tissues. Thus, after the completion of this project, it is necessary to further study the detection of the lung cancer biomarkers from the body fluids or tissues. It may take many years to achieve a clinically relevant outcome. This project will make contribution to advancing the field of lung cancer research by developing a potentially transformative technique that can be applied to detect lung cancer biomarkers.
