Project description
Novel biomarkers for early detection of cancer
Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in EU countries after cardiovascular diseases. Early diagnosis can effectively reduce the mortality associated with cancer by providing treatment at the earliest possible stage. The EU-funded BIOplasma project will address the need for new non-invasive, fast and robust methods to detect different types of cancer in an early stage. Specifically, it is developing analytical tools that permit the diagnosis of biological tissues. Its novel analytical strategy, which is based on liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, uses flexible tube micro plasma. The plasma serves as an ionisation source for the identification and quantification of several lipid biomarkers in body fluids.
Objective
Cancer is the leading cause of death in economically developed countries and the second leading cause of death in developing countries. In 2015, over 8.8 million people died of cancer worldwide and the numbers are expected to rise above 13 million in 2030 . As a consequence, development of non-invasive, fast and robust methods to detect different types of cancer in an early stage are timely. BIOplasma addresses the essential need for analytical tools that permit the diagnosis of biological tissues. A novel analytical strategy based on the Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) using flexible Tube Micro Plasma (FµTP) as ionization source for the identification and quantification of several lipid biomarkers in body fluids is proposed

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
