„This ERC grant is another important step towards the development of the diagnostic kits by our company. We are going to complete clinical validation in collaboration with Innsbruck biobank and by cooperation with Professor Helmut Klocker (University Clinic for Urology, Medical University Innsbruck), to prepare for the certification process and to get in contact with key opinion leaders in the EU. Also, in the future, we would like to develop kits to diagnose other diseases, such as breast cancer.“
