"What I cannot create I do not understand."

The microbial beacon        for cancer detection

◄ ►

Cancer constitutes an increasing risk factor for the ageing population in the developed world. Estimates predict more than 500'000 cancer victims in the US for the year 2015 alone (American Cancer Society, Surveillance Research, 2015). While this estimate includes only the four major cancers (colon & rectum, lung & bronchus, breast and prostate), other manifestations of cancer are on the rise as well.
