“One of our core strengths is in biomarker discovery and verification”, said Dr Petritis. “With the infrastructure we’ve put into place, we are making steady progress in the development of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for lung, colon, breast and pancreatic cancer as well as other diseases. We’re thankful to Waters for their support of our programmes, not just in terms of instrumentation, but in terms of their training, technical support and services.”
