On Friday, June 1st, the CRS4 (Center for Research, Development and Advanced Studies in Sardinia) organizes the kick-off meeting of the NIASMIC project: Non-invasive analysis of somatic mutations in cancer. The meeting will take place at 2.30 pm in the Hematology department (6th floor) of the Armando Businco Oncological Hospital (Via Jenner 1, Cagliari). The project aims to develop a non-invasive protocol to analyze the genetic profile of ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) extracted from liquid biopsy of haematological and oncological patients, through the application of next generation sequencing technologies (NGS) on a panel of genes.
NIASMIC, promoted by the regional agency Sardegna Ricerche through the "Cluster top-down actions" program, is financed through the POR FESR of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia 2014-2020. As with all cluster projects, the open door principle applies: all companies in the sector interested in participating can join the project at any time.
