Professor Sofia Pascu in the Centre for Sustainable and Circular Technologies (CSCT), has received European Research Council (ERC) funding to develop a point-of-care, non-invasive biosensor to detect prostate cancer early and at a lower cost.
The success of this proof of concept could drastically improve the detection, monitoring and prognosis of the second most common cancer in men and a major player in cancer-associated deaths worldwide, as well as significantly reduce the cost for cancer care, which is estimated to be circa 199€ billion per year in Europe.
