US researchers develop new technique to detect cancer biomarkers

December 19, 2019

Researchers at the University of Illinois, US have developed a method to detect microRNA cancer biomarkers with single-molecule resolution.

The technique, Photonic Resonator Absorption Microscopy (PRAM), captures and counts cancer-associated microRNAs, known biomarkers for prostate cancer.

The research team, led by University of Illinois professor Brian Cunningham, collaborated with Moffitt Cancer Center professor Manish Kohli to test PRAM on two microRNAs.
