DNA Aptamer for prostate cancer detection was transferred to Swapnil Sinha, HUMMSA Biotech, Kolkata, and photonic chip-based spectrometric biosensor technology for pathogen detection was given to Nitin Zaveri, UNINO Healthcare, Mumbai.
Biochemical Recurrence of Prostate Cancer
Biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer is a condition that occurs in men who have previously been cured of prostate cancer. In BCR, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is elevated above normal.

IIT Health Technologies for Early Cancer and Pathogen Detection
Developed under the MeitY-funded project called Nanoelectronics Network for Research and Applications (NNetRA), the technologies were transferred on July 31, at an event hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi."We envision a future where technology transfer drives innovation, collaboration, and sustainable development. Measures should be taken to ensure successful adoption, implementation, and commercialization of technology," said S. Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY.
The aptamer, developed by Prashant Mishra and team from IIT Delhi is capable of binding to the specific oncogenes and could be useful as theranostics for prostate cancer.

From Humans to Wildlife: Understanding the Spread of Viral Pathogens
Until recently, humans weren't seen as major virus sources, and human-to-animal virus transmission received little research or attention.

Inadequate Hygiene Could Foster Deadly Pathogens
E. coli and other pathogens are more likely to spread between humans and animals in low-income countries with inadequate water and sanitation.
