Taby Diagnostics is developing an in vitro assay to early diagnose liver cancer in cirrhotic patients. Thanks to this test we will duplicate the amount of patients that can be cured. The principal investigator of this project, Dr. Juan Francisco Delgado, has developed a technology that Allows him to increase the immunogenicity of tumor associated antígenos, therefore increasing the sensitivity to detect serum antibodies in patients at risk to develop liver cancer.
