IIT Madras to tie up with Adyar Cancer Institute for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer
The technology developed from this collaboration will be transferred to a suitable industrial partner who will manufacture and market the testing kit to the general public.
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras is going to collaborate with the Cancer Institute (WIA) at Adyar in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, to develop a point-of-care device for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The two institutions have entered into an MoU to further develop and validate this technology and transfer it to a suitable industrial partner to manufacture and market the kit to the general public.
Key objectives
- Point of care device for early diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancers
- A cost-effective and fast method of analysis, using only blood sample allowing out-patient diagnosis
- Additional areas of collaboration in the pipeline, including early diagnosis of breast cancer
Dr T Rajkumar, Head, Department of Molecular Oncology, Cancer Institute, said, “Our research to identify early diagnosis biomarkers for ovarian cancer used blood samples from 138 ovarian cancer patients, 20 patients with benign ovarian cancers and 238 healthy subjects.”
Dr VV Raghavendra Sai, Associate Professor (Biomedical Engineering), Department of Applied Mechanics, IIT Madras, said, “This gives us an excellent opportunity to work closely with the clinicians towards a deeper understanding of the bottlenecks on the clinical diagnosis and gain from this rich experience to develop robust systems. The clinicians also will have an avenue to see the potential of the latest technological developments and guide us to effectively tailor them to meet the needs."
The Cancer Institute (WIA) at Adyar is a comprehensive cancer centre with a hospital, a research centre, a centre for preventive oncology, epidemiology and cancer registry and a college of oncological sciences. Its research centre is engaged in research and development in molecular oncology and are further involved in identifying biomarkers for early diagnosis, prognosis and in the development of newer therapeutics in the field of oncology.
