The recognition was awarded for a significant contribution to the development of oncology diagnostics by creating an innovative approach for the early detection of bladder cancer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BioPhoT project: liquid biopsy biomarkers for bladder cancer: LiqBio-BC\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XXOeLeDIme8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bladder cancer is one of the most common urological cancers and invasive methods are still widely used to diagnose it. The aim of the project is to offer an alternative test with high sensitivity and specificity to detect the disease early, improve the quality of life of patients and optimise the use of healthcare resources. The LiqBio-BC team developed a novel, patient-friendly and clinically effective diagnostic method based on the non-invasive detection of biomarkers in urine using molecular biology and bioinformatics approaches, as well as machine learning algorithms to analyse the data and improve diagnostic accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cResearch in bladder cancer diagnostics at RSU started in 2020. Since then, this topic has been developed in various national research programmes, while work is currently ongoing on the BioPhoT platform, where we combine molecular biology, clinical medicine and data analytics competences. During these years, we have not only developed innovative diagnostic approaches, but also nurtured a new generation of scientists who continue to strengthen this field of research in Latvia with their energy and knowledge,\u201c says <strong>Project leader LiqBio-BC prof. Zanda Daneberga<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution developed by RSU researchers is an important step towards more personalised, accurate and patient-friendly oncology diagnostics in Latvia and internationally. The project brings together the expertise of clinical specialists, molecular biology experts and data scientists, creating an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and clinicians.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Febru\u0101ra izska\u0146\u0101 Latvijas Zin\u0101t\u0146u akad\u0113mijas (LZA) konkursa laure\u0101tu apbalvo\u0161anas ceremonij\u0101 par noz\u012bm\u012bg\u0101kajiem sasniegumiem zin\u0101tn\u0113 2025. gad\u0101 LZA prezidenta atzin\u012bbas rakstu sa\u0146\u0113ma R\u012bgas Stradi\u0146a universit\u0101tes (RSU) p\u0113tniec\u012bbas un inov\u0101ciju projekts\u00a0LiqBio-BC, kur\u0101 tiek izstr\u0101d\u0101ts ur\u012bnp\u016b\u0161\u013ca v\u0113\u017ea agr\u012bnas atkl\u0101\u0161anas tests, izmantojot neinvaz\u012bvus biomar\u0137ierus un ma\u0161\u012bnm\u0101c\u012b\u0161an\u0101s metodes.
