Precision Measurements of Cancer Biomarkers for Liquid Biopsies

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

The detection of cancer biomarkers in body fluids, referred to as "Liquid Biopsy", has become a cutting-edge technology that has the potential to non-invasively screen and diagnose cancer at early stage, monitor tumor progression, and evaluate therapy responses. The molecular profiles gathered from circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) such as gene alteration and DNA methylation can be further complemented with the analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), RNA, proteins, and exosomes. NIST has collaborations with the National Cancer In...

Grantor Contact InformationHua-Jun He, Phone: 301 975 8518Grantor Emailhua-jun.he@nist.govOther Grantor InformaitonThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
