Bioeclosion joins ‘Industrial Startups Day’ by S2 Xpeed and ‘Forùm Arquímedes’ by PRUAB

At Bioeclosion, the last month of 2024 has been truly inspiring!

As a spin-off from UAB, Bioeclosion participated in the annual ‘Fòrum Arquímedes’ event, which brought together all spin-off companies from the university at the ‘Casa de la Convalescència’ in Barcelona, Spain, on December 10th. It was a networking event aimed at building community and inspiring entrepreneurs from UAB.

Besides, the end of the S2 Xpeed acceleration program provided us with the opportunity to present our company and prototypes at the Industrial Startups Day. It was held as part of Tech Spirit Barcelona 2024, one of the region’s major events for startups and innovative companies. The event took place at Llotja de Mar in Barcelona, Spain, on December 13th, offering a platform to share our vision on the future of Rapid Diagnostic Tests and to network with collaborators and investors. Our fellow S2 Xpeed program cohort members—AiSense, Curatio, ELNAV.ai, and Ubyko—were also present.

Featuring BioEclosion cartridge in biosensing research in breast cancer detection based on exosomes

🌟 Transforming Breast Cancer Diagnosis. BioEclosion’s breakthrough in biosensing technology 🌟

In an exciting development for the field of medical diagnostics, our latest product, the specialized cartridge for biosensing applications, has been featured in a pioneering study published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics. This study, titled “Peptide-based biosensing approaches for targeting breast cancer-derived exosomes”, marks a significant milestone in the non-invasive detection of breast cancer through advanced biosensor technology.

Why This Research Matters
Breast cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, requires innovative diagnostic methods for early detection and treatment. The research conducted utilized our cutting-edge cartridge in developing an electrochemical biosensor that precisely targets and quantifies exosomes derived from breast cancer cells. Exosomes, nanovesicles present in all biological fluids, are key biomarkers for cancer due to their molecular composition, reflecting the pathological state of their cells of origin.

Key innovations

  • Use of phage display technology to select peptides with high specificity for exosomes derived from breast cancer cells, demonstrating the effectiveness of peptide-based biosensors as cost-effective and stable alternatives to traditional antibodies.
  • Development of a magneto-actuated immunoassay and electrochemical biosensor integrated with our cartridge technology for the detection and quantification of breast cancer-derived exosomes in serum, showcasing a significant improvement in sensitivity and specificity.
  • Achievement of a lower limit of detection for breast cancer-derived exosomes, highlighting the potential for early diagnosis and monitoring of breast cancer in a non-invasive manner.

Our commitment to innovation
At BioEclosion, we are proud to contribute to such transformative research that has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Our dedication to providing innovative solutions ensures healthcare professionals can offer more accurate, early detection methods, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Looking ahead
The successful application of our cartridge in this study is just the beginning. We are excited to continue our work with researchers and clinicians worldwide, pushing the boundaries of diagnostic technology and making a tangible impact on patient care.
