Rhea-AI Summary
bioAffinity Technologies (NASDAQ: BIAF; BIAFW) is set to present its research on using flow cytometry for diagnosing lung diseases at the CHEST 2022 conference from Oct. 16-19, 2022. The presentation, led by PhD Lydia Bederka, will focus on Sputum Analysis By Flow Cytometry To Assess Lung Health on Oct. 19, highlighting the development of its product, CyPath® Lung, which detects early-stage lung cancer with 92% sensitivity and 87% specificity.
Positive
CyPath® Lung shows 92% sensitivity and 87% specificity for early-stage lung cancer detection.
Research into flow cytometry may advance non-invasive lung disease diagnostics.
The presentation may enhance visibility and credibility in the medical community.
Negative
None.
Powerful platform reveals the lung environment for diagnosing lung diseases
The presentation, Sputum Analysis By Flow Cytometry To Assess Lung Health, will be part of the Lung Cancer Assessment and Risk Calculations session on Oct. 19 beginning at 11:15 a.m. (ET). bioAffinity Research Scientist Lydia Bederka, PhD, will present data showing how flow cytometry can identify reproducible cell populations from whole sputum samples that can be used in the development of diagnostics for COPD and asthma, and has been used to develop bioAffinity’s initial product, CyPath® Lung, that detects early-stage lung cancer.
CyPath® Lung is a non-invasive test that has shown 92% sensitivity and 87% specificity in detecting early-stage lung cancer in individuals at high risk for the disease who have lung nodules less than 20mm. The test is marketed by Precision Pathology Services in San Antonio, Texas.
“Flow cytometry can provide the foundation for impactful lung diagnostic tests,” said bioAffinity’s Chief Science and Medical Officer Vivienne Rebel, MD, PhD. “With recent improvements in antibody panels, fluorochromes and methods of detecting fluorescent signals, flow cytometry allows for rapid analysis of large numbers of sputum-derived cells. Automation of flow analysis, which we have achieved with our test for lung cancer, alleviates the potential bias problem. A flow cytometry platform can therefore provide insights into lung health, similar to the way flow cytometry gives insights into hematopoietic health and diseases by analyzing blood and bone marrow.”
