New Glasgow Cancer Assays by GPOL and Agilent Technologies

GPOL at the University of Glasgow has developed the groundbreaking new Glasgow Cancer Assays – a suite of affordable, fit-for-purpose, solid and haematological cancer genomic assays, developed specifically to address the challenges of real-world oncology, both for current and emerging routine healthcare and for therapeutic development, including participant selection for clinical trials and discovering markers of response and resistance.

The Glasgow Cancer Assays are currently being evaluated by NHS labs in England and Scotland. Agilent Technologies has been granted a non-exclusive licence for global distribution

“The Glasgow Cancer Assays were created so that every patient with cancer could have access to the latest treatments and clinical trials,” said Professor Andrew Biakin. “Our team of inventors, including Susie Cooke, Philip Beer and David Chang, have dedicated the last five years of their lives to creating the Glasgow Cancer test. This test will enable patients around the world to access the best treatments for their cancer. I’m extremely proud of what the team have done and where this might take us for healthcare in the future.”
