At Glycanostics, we have developed an early-stage, highly accurate, and unique cancer diagnostic test. Our patented technology for screening cancers detects changes in a glycan attached to a protein in the blood and covers possible diagnostics of eleven types of cancer. Cancer cells release increased levels of glycoproteins into the bloodstream. These glycoproteins, so-called biomarkers, are cancer antigens and are used in the detection of cancer from human blood. Minute amounts of serum are needed for testing. The Glycanostics testing technology is based on antibody-coated magnetic particles to selectively extract the desired biomarker from the serum. Finally, the optical signal is generated in the event that the sample contains a biomarker produced by cancer cells.In the first step, the serum with biomarker is added to the suspension of antibody-coated magnetic particles. The biomarker interacts strongly with the antibody bound to magnetic particles and is removed from the serum via a magnetic field. A microtiter plate modified with glycan-recognizing biomolecules, so-called receptors, is used to create a sandwich: receptor+glycoprotein´s biomarker+Ab-coated magnetic particles. Within a very short time, a monolayer of magnetic particles is created and an optical signal is generated in the event that the sample contains a biomarker produced by cancer cells. Samples without the cancer-specific biomarker isoform remain clear. Show less

The doctoral study program is focused on the creation of an animal model of trauma brain injuries. We focus on the research of biomarkers and therapeutic targets for sporadic version of Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. The goal of the study is connected to the identity of molecular pathways and a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for development of neurodegenerative disorders.
