The final match of the 2023 “Science and Technology Jiangsu” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition in the field of life sciences was successfully held in Nanjing. After fierce competition, the project “Accurate Early Screening Kit for Colorectal Cancer Based on Liquid Biopsy Technology” by HymonBio won first prize.
Introduction to the Award-Winning Project
With the promotion of Healthy China, the country has vigorously promoted early cancer screening, and local governments have also increased their support for colorectal cancer screening. With the advancement of cancer screening technology, accuracy of colorectal cancer screening tests is also improving, especially genetic testing. The project uses blood testing to achieve screening, and uses Nanobody Molecular Lock Amplification technology to solve the interference of wild-type genes on the amplification of mutant genes, ensuring that amplification of mutant genes has an overwhelming advantage, and the mutation detection rate reaches 1/10,000; performance has been verified in the laboratory of PerkinElmer Company in the United States to achieve early detection of early colorectal cancer risk. The project clinical trials is nearing completion; has applied for a number of patents; has obtained EU CE certification; and obtained ISO13485 system certification.
Introduction of the Competition
This competition is jointly organized by the Provincial Association for Science and Technology, Provincial Taiwan Affairs Office, Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, and Provincial Youth League Committee. The competition is themed “Technology self-reliance, self-improvement, and double innovation driven development”, focusing on the strategic emerging industries and key industries vigorously developed in our province. It focuses on 16 advanced manufacturing clusters and focuses on six areas of competition: information technology, equipment manufacturing, new materials, life sciences, modern agriculture, and food science.
