Team:NCTU Formosa

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 is devoted to developing the latest antigen detection technology. In 2015, we cooperated with iGEM to create a brand new detection platform using synthetic biology.

What's new

APOllO E.Cotector:
Our organization created 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.
