Molecular Oncology: Building predictive disease models using extracellular vesicle microscale flow cytometry and machine learning

2023-01-09T20:17:59+00:00

We developed the extracellular vesicle machine learning analysis platform (EVMAP) to improve the prediction of diseases such as cancer. The platform combines extracellular vesicle analysis using microscale cytometry with a machine learning approach to generate predictive models. In this work, we utilized EVMAP to generate a blood test to predict high-grade prostate cancer in men that was significantly more accurate than the prostate-specific antigen test. This platform could be applied to many different diseases.

Press Release: Nanostics Announces New Member of Board of Directors

2022-11-17T14:38:46+00:00

Edmonton, Alberta – Nanostics Inc., a precision health diagnostics company, announced today the appointment of Aubrey Rankin to its Board of Directors. Mr. Rankin will join the board of directors at Nanostics replacing Mr. Reg Joseph as one of the independent directors for the company.

“We’re excited to announce Aubrey Rankin’s appointment to Nanostics’ Board of Directors. Aubrey’s vast experience and insights with patient-provider subscription platforms will be invaluable as we launch our lead prostate cancer diagnostic test, ClarityDX Prostate®,” said John Lewis, CEO of Nanostics.

Nanostics sends thanks to outgoing board member Reg Joseph, CEO of Health City, for his service. Reg’s insights into the Healthcare Industry were instrumental in helping Nanostics advance its lead diagnostic product, ClarityDX Prostate® through clinical studies and position it for regulatory approval.

News Release: Recognizing 10 years of philanthropic support for prostate cancer research

2022-10-13T05:02:22+00:00

Two powerhouse researchers in prostate cancer will change the way we treat the disease, thanks to funding from legendary volunteer fundraisers, the Bird Dogs and the Alberta Cancer Foundation.

Working with the Alberta Cancer Foundation and the University of Alberta, the Bird Dogs have enabled a new one-term, five-year chair position to further prostate cancer research — the Bird Dogs Chair in Translational Oncology, a position to be held by researcher Dr. John Lewis. For the last 10 years, Dr. Lewis has held the Frank and Carla Sojonky Chair in Prostate Cancer Research, made possible by a $5 million endowment from the Bird Dogs. Taking over from Dr. Lewis in this position will be surgeon-scientist, Dr. Adam Kinnaird.

Amii Artificial Intelligence Virtual Seminar Series

2022-09-02T06:12:20+00:00

What: Nanostics’ CTO Robert Paproski will present “Lessons Learned Developing Predictive Models for Healthcare”

When:  September 2, 12-1 pm MT

Abstract:
Over the past decade, significant interest has developed for using machine learning in medical devices for assisting in the diagnosis and risk prediction of diseases. Many publications have demonstrated promising preliminary results although the path of deploying a predictive model in the clinic is challenging from a technological and regulatory perspective. This presentation will discuss Nanostics’ work developing ClarityDX Prostate, a medical device which predicts clinically significant prostate cancer, including the challenges of obtaining FDA approval. Training predictive models on large, diverse, clinical datasets is vital for developing trustworthy models although obtaining such datasets can be problematic. Potential solutions for working with large clinical datasets will be discussed.
