Caldera Pharmaceuticals will develop quantitative biomarker assays for a set of carcinogens. In Phase I, Caldera will demonstrate the feasibility of using its novel XRpro(R) technology to extract, concentrate, quantify, and characterize carcinogens from biological samples. This will also identify protein adduct biomarkers that are involved in critical carcinogenic and biotransformation pathways. This project addresses challenges listed in PA-09-187, including the measurement of carcinogens directly, without antibodies, dyes, tags, or radioactive materials.
