At the AIT’s Competence Unit Molecular Diagnostics we identify and validate useful biomarkers for minimally or non-invasive diagnostics in body fluids to create point of care solutions. We have a special focus on liquid biopsies (blood, extracellular fluids and saliva) that are ideally suited for point of care measurements. In our academical or industrial projects we act as service provider or contract research partner.
