Cellular ‘trash bins’ might be a key to reviving multi-cancer early detection tests
Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Daniel Kim discusses his research on the promise of detecting cancers early, when they are most curable, by finding extracellularvesicles in the blood with RNA sequencing.

New blood test for noncoding RNA significantly improves cancer detection
Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Daniel Kim and his lab are developing more accurate and powerful liquid biopsy technologies that take advantage of signals from RNA “dark matter,” an understudied area of the genome.

Hallmark cancer gene regulates RNA ‘dark matter’
A new study finds that a key genetic mutation that occurs early on in cancer alters RNA “dark matter” and causes the release of previously unknown RNA biomarkers for cancer early detection.
