We are so excited to have our work featured on CBS Health Watch! Thank you Kelly Werthmann for taking the time to learn more about our work with Dr. Kian Behbahkt, Benjamin Bitler and their team at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Their work as part of the Ovarian Cancer Innovations Group at CU and their collaboration with AOA has been pivotal to the advancement of our early detection ovarian cancer test. "AOA's early detection tool is like finding smoke before the fire. Not only can they see the smoke, they can actually pick out components of that smoke well before anything that looks like smoke is seen. This is exciting because it will translate into lives saved and women don't die from this horrible disease." - Dr. Behbahkt "We were able to profile these 500 patient samples (from the University of Colorado) to understand biomarker profiles and see what specific biomarkers are present in early stage disease, and how to be to able to differentiate that from those women who are healthy or those women who have benign conditions," - Anna Milik Jeter Check out the full article and segment here: https://lnkd.in/dwVWZ_mU #ovariancancer #womenshealth #cancer #earlydetection #biotech
