Lung Cancer Data Heralds Shift for Hummingbird Diagnostics to Focus on Early Detection

Aug 01, 2023 | Molika Ashford genomeweb NEW YORK – German RNA-based testing firm Hummingbird Diagnostics is making strides to develop a microRNA assay for the early detection of lung cancer. Last month, the company published promising data on the development of an 18-miRNA signature dubbed miLung in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology. Hummingbird CSO Bruno Steinkraus said that the firm is very focused on early detection, even though its first foray into diagnostics was the development of a cancer immunotherapy response predictor.  “The [immunotherapy application] was more of a side project, but it was significantly easier to do,” he said. “With early detection, there...

is named after the arctic tern, a bird that migrates 71,000 km annually. As they can live for 30 years, this is the lifetime equivalent of three trips to the moon and back. Not bad for a 100 gram bird. We strive to emulate its size to performance ratio as well as its global reach.
