Premium

Molecular diagnostics company DxTerity Diagnostics was recently awarded a $280,000 Small Business Innovation Research contract from the National Cancer Institute to develop a test for susceptibility to radiation sickness during cancer treatment.

The gene expression-based system aims to identify patients likely to develop acute radiation side effects.
