Challenge Driven Innovation Project
Since May 2016, CREATE Health has been heading a collaboration project between Skåne County, Immunovia AB, Swedish Institute for Health Economics (IHE), Phadia Laboratory Systems, and Oxford Biobank, called “Advanced diagnostics in oncology - a test bed for risk prediction in prostate cancer”. The project is funded by VINNOVA and is part of their UDI program.
The project aims to develop an improved method to diagnose prostate cancer by analyzing blood samples, using affinity proteomics. The outcome could dramatically decrease the numbers of patients that will need to be biopsied for a correct diagnosis.
