Micronoma

We are proud to announce that we have received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for OncobiotaLUNG! The OncobiotaLUNG assay is the first blood microbiome-driven liquid biopsy with proven effectiveness, including identifying cancer in its earliest stages. Breakthrough device designation validates Micronoma’s aim to improve the current standard of care for patients exhibiting lung nodules, using microbial biomarkers to detect lung carcinomas as early as stage I disease.

Now's the time to pay attention. The microbiome plays a key role in the biology of cancer and Micronoma has been able to show that different microbiome communities can be found in different tissues – that this diversity extends to tumoral vs. healthy tissue.  With Micronoma’s groundbreaking development of a liquid biopsy to detect these microbial elements in tumors, there is hope on the horizon for earlier detection, even for the deadliest of cancers.

What benefit does finding the cancer microbiome provide compared to other methods? Identifying the cancer microbiome can help provide valuable insights into cancer biology and potentially lead to improved prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for cancer patients.

What is the microbiome? In our bodies we have more than 100 trillion microbes, including bacteria and viruses, outnumbering our normal cells by up to 10 to one. In fact, if you look at the genes in our bodies, we are only about 1% human, as most of our DNA is either bacteria or viral. The microbiome is the collection of all microbes, that naturally live on our bodies and inside us. Until recently, tissue and blood were believed to be microbe free unless infected. There is now evidence that they too have a microbiome, leading to essential innovations in diagnosis and treatment of disease. Learn more HERE! https://bit.ly/3n8iYsv

Nearly two million incidentally detected pulmonary nodules (IPN) appear each year on images coming from body scans that patients undergo for reasons unrelated to lung cancer. So, what can Micronoma do to assist patients with IPN? The answer is the OncobiotaLUNG platform. Read more. https://bit.ly/44UeFS4

Since we have more microbial genes than human ones, could that mean we might be able to detect cancer with the help of microbiome? It was an idea worth exploring. What we discovered is that each cancer is a microbial world unto itself. The cancer microbiome was always there, but the technology and multidisciplinary team weren’t – until now. And with that realization, Micronoma was born. Take a look! https://bit.ly/3HvpyjJ

Our platform and global expertise allow for the identification of microbial signatures in circulating blood (ctmbDNA) that are predictive of cancer. This type of minimally invasive liquid biopsy uses blood samples, which can be more easily collected than solid tissue samples. Until recently, tissue and blood were believed to be microbe free, except in the case of an infection. What has been discovered is that tissue also has a microbiome, with very specific compositions to each tissue. In the case of cancer, these signatures can be found even in blood (ctmbDNA).

Many obstacles stand in the way of current lung cancer detection methods, making it one of the deadliest cancers.  Given the many barriers and complications associated with early detection of lung cancer, the potential of detection through a simple blood draw (a liquid biopsy) offers many advantages. Access to labs that can take a blood sample is much more widespread than low-dose CT equipment. This helps bring early detection to even the most rural and remote spots in the country, targeting high-risk patients. Read more. https://bit.ly/3jOlcM7
