Abstract

A multimodality Raman and photoacoustic imaging system is presented. This system has ultralow background and can detect tumor cells labeled with modified surface-enhanced-Raman-scattering (SERS) nanoparticles in vivo. Photoacoustic imaging provides microvascular context and can potentially be used to guide magnetic trapping of circulating tumor cells for SERS detection in animal models.

Nanostics is pleased to announce the launch of clinical validation study

EDMONTON, June 4, 2019 /CNW/ – Nanostics Inc. is pleased to Announce the start of its key Clinical validation study. APCaRI is managing the study and recruitment has begun at Calgary’s Prostate Cancer Centre (PCC) and Edmonton’s Northern Alberta Urology Centre (NAUC). Recruitment of men from the Yukon Territories will follow.
The study will be conducted in partnership with DynaLIFE Medical Labs with co-principal investigators Dr. Eric Hyndman (PCC) and Dr. Adrian Fairey’s (NAUC).
Nanostics recognizes and is very grateful for the funding and support we received from the Bird Dogs from the beginning of this research and development journey. Nanostics also thanks funders for the clinical study including the Motorcycle Ride for Dad, Alberta Cancer Foundation, Alberta Innovates-ASBIRI program and the University Hospital Foundation Kaye Fund.
