项目简介
Oxidative stress (arising from an excess in reactive oxygen species (ROS)) causes oxidative damage (OD) leading to faster aging and onset of age-related diseases. With oxidative stress underlying many diseases, understanding personal disease risk towards proactive health management is important by knowing your oxidative damage. However there is no validated cost-effective clinically applied in-vitro diagnostic to quantify oxidative damage.
Cantabio has developed a novel, non-invasive and cost-effective _in vitro_ biofluid based immuno-platform (Redox-DJ1-EP), which quantifies distinct oxidative states of DJ-1 ( A native oxidative stress biosensor protein) and its total concentrations from tissue lysates or various biofluids such as human blood (etc. plasma). Monitoring changes in oxidation levels of DJ-1 may be a reliable indicator of the on-set and progression of a wide variety of diseases.
There is an unmet need for solutions that can measure oxidative damage to aid in health status screening & awareness, (early) diagnosis of diseases & improved disease management.
Who we are looking for:
Strategic Investors: Further platform development and scaling
Collaboration Partners: Towards clinical validation and platform development (Academic Institutes, Clinicians, Hospitals, Automated instrument providers etc)
