- Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death in male health worldwide. We detected biomarkers of prostate cancer in human blood plasma at concentrations low enough to deem suitable for early detection of the disease. The early detection of prostate cancer is necessary to introduce timely intervention and save human life. The developed sensor is low cost, portable (one can put it in his wallet) and can readily be adopted to provide readout on smartphone. The work is now under translational phase supported by Royal Hospital, Bath and subsequent funding from Marie Curie at the University of Bath.
