animal models.
- Specifically, proposed studies could
involve:
- Clinical validation of candidate biomarkers
- Studies to identify candidate biomarkers
- Retrospective longitudinal study to
evaluate potential biomarker
- Optimize potential biomarker assay (throughput,
reproducibility, etc)
- Development of innovative imaging tests
for pre-cancerous lesions
