AI-Powered Liquid Biopsy Tests for Early Cancer Detection in Lynch Syndrome Patients

healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine being able to spot cancer early by just taking a simple blood test instead of invasive surgery. For people with a specific genetic risk called Lynch Syndrome, this project creates a high-tech filter that catches tiny cancer signals in the blood. It uses AI to make sure these tests work accurately across different hospitals and countries.

The business problem

What needed solving

Lynch Syndrome carriers face high cancer risks but lack affordable, non-invasive screening methods, leading to late detection and preventable deaths.

The solution

What was built

A multi-omic liquid biopsy test utilizing AI and markers (microsatellite instability and metabolomic) to detect early-stage cancers.

Health Tech
any
Target: AI medical software company

If you are an AI medical software company dealing with the need for validated clinical data for cancer screening — this project developed AI-driven identification of cancer traces across diverse healthcare systems.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the expected cost or price of the tests?

Based on available project data, the objective is to deliver a cost-effective and affordable test, though specific pricing is not provided.

Can this be scaled to an industrial level?

Yes, the project aims to deliver results that can be rapidly upscaled and adopted across the European Union and globally.

How is the IP and licensing handled?

Based on available project data, the project partners with five leading biomarker companies (GNT, MSInsight, MSICare, MSIPlus, and Elypta), but specific licensing terms are not listed.

What is the timeline for implementation?

The project period runs from 2025-05-01 to 2031-04-30.

How will the tests be integrated into existing health systems?

The project uses AI to ensure the tests are applicable to diverse healthcare systems and includes a socio-economic assessment to align with healthcare needs.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is highly diversified with 28 partners across 16 countries, blending academic research (9 universities, 9 research institutes) with commercial execution. With a 14% industry ratio and 4 SMEs, the project has a strong foundation for technology transfer, specifically through its direct partnerships with 5 specialized biomarker companies to ensure the final product is market-ready.
