 A group of Stanford researchers has combined a liquid biopsy platform with a multiplexed real-time PCR assay to rapidly detect acute fungal infections in a patient's bloodstream.

The team is currently performing a prospective study using the platform on patients at high-risk for fungal infections out of its CLIA lab, and hopes to eventually be able to offer the test for early detection and treatment monitoring.
