Com uma equipe de tecnólogos e cientistas, Jorge Soto está desenvolvendo um teste de código aberto, simples e não invasivo, para detectar sinais precoces de várias formas de câncer. No palco do TEDGlobal 2014, ele demonstra, pela primeira vez,  um protótipo operante da plataforma móvel. 

Será o futuro da detecção precoce do câncer?

Cancer often goes undetected until it's too late, as shown by the story of an active, healthy woman whose diagnosis came only after six months of testing. While treatments have evolved, most people still lack access to early and accurate diagnostic methods. Harnessing microRNAs in the bloodstream, scientists have developed a noninvasive, low-cost blood test that can identify several cancers before symptoms appear. This open-source technology promises to democratize early detection and transform the fight against cancer.

Early Cancer Detection Enters the Digital Age With MicroRNA
