One question we’re often asked at Nanalyze is what emerging technology do we think will be most disruptive in the long term. The short answer: All of them. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be devoting long hours at the laptop between trips to the local dispensary writing about all of this amazing progress. Artificial intelligence, as we’ve […]
The term “cure for cancer” is misleading as it implies there is one single problem that needs to be solved in order to eradicate all cancers. This couldn’t be further from the truth. There are 5 main cancer groups which are further subdivided into more than 200 different types of cancer. There won’t be a single […]

What happens with cancer is that certain genetic mutations cause cells to start replicating uncontrollably resulting in tumors. How do […]
Everyone’s probably had a chance to digest the recent black swan event which saw Britain leave the EU and while that may have rocked world markets, it also makes UK assets more affordable due to the falling pound. We’ve talked before about liquid biopsy cancer tests which are essentially just ways to detect cancer in blood […]
In previous articles, we discussed such companies as Apocell and Raindance Technologies that are developing blood tests that can detect cancer by looking for circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood. These tests could be used in the initial prognosis of cancer as well as frequently throughout treatment, for example, to see how well a […]
One of the companies posted by a user in the Nanalyze forums in 2003 was Illlumina (NASDAQ:ILMN), a company involved in genetic analysis solutions. If you had invested $1000 in Illumina at the time of this user’s post, you would have $42,220 today. While most people have heard the term nanotechnology, fewer people are familiar […]
