The research group from the Faculty of Chemistry at the Nicolaus Copernicus University will take part in the international project “Airborne Biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer” (ABC-Cancer), which aims to find a minimally-invasive tool for the diagnosis of colon cancer.

The consortium that will implement the project is: University of Maastricht (the Netherlands), which acts as a leader; IVV Laboratory of Process Engineering at the Fraunhofer Institute in Freising and Medical Clinics together with Polyclinic III of the University of Munich (Germany) and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.

The main goal is to develop new methodologies and standard operational protocols – including the unification of the methodology for the preparation and analysis of biological samples and the analysis of volatile organic compounds in the feces and intestinal gases and air exhaled by coupled chromatographic techniques and ion mobility spectrometry.
