The only thing we can detect is everything.

Who we are

NCTU_Formosa created an organization－APOllO, which stands for Almighty Probe of scFv Organization. APOllO devoted to developing detection technology by utilizing antibodies. In 2015, we cooperated with iGEM to develop a brand new detection platform by using synthetic biology.

What's new

APOllO E.Cotector:
Our organization create a customized scFv detection platform by co-transforming any desired plasmid. ScFv utilizing antigen-antibody interaction can act as probes. Our E.Cotector can therefore have the function of a detector.

What do we care

In 2015, we focus on helping doctors select the appropriate candidates for monoclonal-antibody targeted drug for patient's treatment in a more inexpensive way. If the cost for diagnosis decreases, more patients can afford it. Therefore, more patients can be prescribed and treated, lowering the mortality rate of cancer.
