Discovery
Project Clinical Proteomic Technology Assessment
for Cancer 7 million grant from National Cancer
Institute GOAL Identify cancer biomarkers for
more precise diagnoses and ?therapies tailored to
individuals (personalized medicine). Study
proteins/protein components (biomarkers) and
their relationships to cancers (specifically,
breast and prostate cancers). OUTCOMES Develop
protocols and standardized techniques for all
researchers to use to identify specific cancer
biomarkers. Create new technologies (systems for
highly complex data collection and analysis) to
find locations of these biomarkers.

Project BioCD Spinning Disc 21st Century grant
from State of Indiana Bindley Bioscience
Center Birck Nanotechnology Center Department
of Chemistry Department of Physics GOAL Creat
e new concepts and tools in laboratory testing
and diagnostics OUTCOMES Develop a spinning
disc (laser, detector, reader, spinner, optics,
and signal processor) that holds immunoassays and
delivers samples by placing tracks of different
proteins the disc. Samples are prepared and
analyzed with a disc that can perform many
different immunoassay measurements per second,
producing reliable and effective quantitative
analyses.
physics and chemistry combine to create efficient
comprehensive medical testing device
