The concept of companion diagnostics (CDx) was developed when researchers realized that even potent drugs only had an efficacy between 25% and 60%, the lowest being in oncology. Therefore, a clinical pharmacogenetic assay became important to distinguish patients more likely to respond to a drug or at a lesser risk of associated adverse pathophysiol...

The organ donation and transplant community is facing a constant scarcity of adequate donor organs to meet the unceasingly increasing demand. All innovations in the solid organ transplant industry focus on increasing the availability of donor organs and improving post-transplant outcomes post-transplant. Pre- and post-transplant diagnostics are us...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced non-invasive imaging technology that creates clear images of organs and structures inside the body. However, the claustrophobic narrow bore size design that causes patient anxiety during the scan and the stationary nature of the large machine hinder the optimal use of this technology, and low-quality ...
