Supported Research
Developing a DNA Ploidy Analysis Platform (2025)
Amount Funded: $95,787
This project builds on ongoing collaborations among BC Cancer, the NIH, and the University of Düsseldorf. Drs. Guillaud and Laronde are developing an automated DNA ploidy analysis platform for oral brush samples from individuals with FA.
This innovative, noninvasive method enables frequent monitoring of cellular changes over time, providing critical insight into how precancerous lesions progress. Earlier detection and intervention can lead to better outcomes and a deeper understanding of FA-related cancer development. FCF extends sincere gratitude to Fanconi Canada for their continued partnership and support of this research.
This project is a part of the FA Cancer Consortium.
Thank you to project sponsor Fanconi Canada.
