“This presentation will describe new technologies we developed for liquid biopsy and precision medicine. The three new tools include a rare-cell isolation instrument we call eDAR (ensemble decision aliquot ranking), a nanofluidic technology for the high-sensitivity sorting of exosomes, and a digital-nucleic-acid detection and analysis platform based on our SD (self digitization) chip. I will outline the workings of these new tools, describe their performance, and discuss the clinical questions we are addressing with these next-generation technologies.”
