Portable pancreatic cancer detection device using urinary biomarkers
We are developing a handheld at-home diagnostic device for early pancreatic cancer detection using urine samples. The device uses a graphene nanowire biosensor to detect disease-associated biomarkers and provides rapid, consumer-friendly results, enabling earlier screening outside traditional clinical settings.
