Development of nano diagnostic device for early cancer detection
Recently microRNAs were revealed to exist stably in body fluids like blood in a protected form within exosomes secreted from cells, and they are expected as promising biomarker candidates for the early cancer detection. In this study, we aim to establish microRNA screening as a rapid and less invasive cancer tests．We are going to develop the nanodiagnostic device which enables the on-chip sequential processing of purification, amplification and analysis of microRNA from a tiny amount of body fluid and establish the core technology for the future "nanodiagnostic device".
