research grant

Investigators at the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas, a Greek research institute, are coordinating the effort.

The single-cell genomics firm will collaborate with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center on a targeted sequencing panel for MRD monitoring in AML.

The grant will co-fund a year-long project to validate Biofidelity's chemistry to detect mutations used to guide non-small-cell lung cancer treatment.

Hallmarks of the genetic disease, which can result in life-threatening cardiac complications, include progressive weakness and loss of heart muscle.

The anonymous gift, to be made in annual installments over 10 years, will support interdisciplinary work at the campus's Genomics Institute headquarters.

The team will use a combination of genomics, pathology, and computer modeling to identify potential new therapeutic targets of the disease.

The funding is being provided by the Flemish government's Agency for Innovation and Entrepreneurship to support the three-year development project.

The researchers will evaluate recent developments in human genome editing as well as responses from the public and scientific communities.

The platform is designed to isolate exosomes from blood, then release their extracellular RNA cargo for analysis as biomarkers for diseases including cancer.
