They are also establishing licensing agreements and collaborative relationships with leading companies and research institutions working to develop microRNA-based products.
News
[December 13, 2007] Rosetta Genomics will collaborate with Columbia University to develop microRNA-based diagnostic tests for early detection and prognosis of certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia. Rosetta Genomics and Columbia researchers will screen for microRNAs that could serve as biomarkers and drug targets for diffuse large cell lymphoma, transformed follicular lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
