Applications

Optical biomarker detection

Platform direction for optical detection of selected biomarker signals.

Digital signal counting

Development focus on countable signal events for sensitive analytical workflows.

Amplification-free analysis

Designed around workflows that reduce reliance on amplification-dependent analysis.

Oncology applications

Research direction for cancer-associated biomarkers and liquid-biopsy use cases.

Infectious-disease applications

Development direction for selected pathogen, antigen and host-response targets.

Domestic manufacturing direction

Aligned with scalable, accessible and India-focused diagnostic deployment.

Target Biomarker Classes

Focused categories for development, not a proprietary target list.

Oncology targets

Circulating tumour DNA, cell-free nucleic acids, miRNA, exosomal targets, protein biomarkers and selected cancer-associated molecular markers.

Infectious-disease targets

Pathogen nucleic acids, microbial antigens, host-response markers, syndrome-associated molecular targets and selected priority pathogens relevant to Indian clinical needs.

Development directions

Application areas are organized around clinical relevance, decentralized access and commercially practical assay translation.
