NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) — The National Cancer Institute has given Rules-Based Medicine a $1.1 million Phase I/Phase II Small Business Innovation Research contract to develop immunoassays for cancer, the biomarker testing company said today.
Austin, Texas-based RBM said it will use the cash to develop 50 new quantitative, multiplexed immunoassays for cancer-related proteins to add to its Human Multi-Analyte Profile platform.
RBM said its testing service, which is CLIA certified and supports Good Lab Practice studies, can generate data for hundreds of proteins "from a small sample volume and from multiple species."
