They will discuss BioScent, a diagnostic research company in Manatee County, dedicated to using the power of canine scent detection to develop a non-invasive way of screening for cancer.
More specifically, beagles are trained to smell cancer cells in breath and saliva samples of individuals being screened for various types of cancers, including breast and lung.
LECOM faculty and students are partnering with BioScent to determine exactly what markers the dogs are focusing on in their work.
