Identification of risk factors for the development of colorectal cancer and / or premalignant lesions using Big Data tools and Artifical Intelligence for early cancer detection

Project description

Personalised medicine strategy for early cancer detection using Big Data tools and AI

Spanish Amadix is a molecular diagnostics company developing innovative diagnostic tests for early cancer detection based on liquid biopsy. The company focuses on non-invasive early cancer detection, working not only at a molecular level but exploring information from clinical records and patient data. It employs the latest AI and advanced data analysis tools to identify new risk factors and develop predictive models to uncover hidden underlying cancer risk factors. The EU-funded AMX DATA project aims to identify risk factors in colon, lung, and pancreatic cancers based on medical history, individual habits, and image analysis using Big Data tools and AI in combination with blood test gene signatures.

Objective

Founded in 2010, AMADIX is a leading molecular diagnostics company focused on liquid biopsy, developing innovative diagnostic tests for early cancer detection in blood. The mission of the company is extending people lives, developing disruptive technologies to detect the tumor years in advance, before the symptoms appear. The company’s products are oriented to non-invasive early cancer detection, avoiding the complications of existing invasive procedures, as tumor biopsies in colon, lung and pancreatic cancer.

The application of Advanced Data Analytical tools in healthcare has a lot of positive and also life-saving potential. When speaking about data, we are referring to the vast quantities of information created in digitization of medical documents, and that could be consolidated and analyzed applying specific technologies. Aligned with our mission, AMADIX continues to go further, not only working at a molecular level but also exploring possibilities that clinical records and patient data offer (particular conditions, lifestyle, living area…). We are registering, processing and analyzing data through the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Advanced Data Analytical Tools, in order to identify new risk factors, to develop predictive models which will help us anticipate hidden underlying cancer risk factors, treat patients in time and help improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients. So, as an overview, the objective of AMX DATA is identifying risk factors in colon, lung and pancreatic cancer based on medical history, individual habits and image analysis to incorporate new risk cancer factors - in combination with our blood test gene signature - into our algorithms using Big Data tools and Artificial Intelligence.

The development of this disruptive project requires the recruitment of an Innovation Associate with a multidisciplinary set of skills combining expertise and knowledge in cancer diagnostics and data analysis tools.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

CSA-LSP - Coordination and support action Lump sum
