The ability for clinicians to develop personalized therapeutics based on a patient?s genetic composition is a challenge, particularly in cancer diagnostics. In many cancers, the genetic composition can vary significantly within the same tumor sample. This not only complicates developing an optimal treatment for a cancer, but also challenges cancer diagnostics as well. Currently, personalized medicine in cancer is based on high-cost genetic testing technology and most of the information acquired is based on correlation studies. Targeted therapy agents are increasingly available for clinical applications, but have produced disappointing results when tested in clinical trials, indicating that there are many challenges that must be addressed to advance this field. In this proposal, we introduce a first-in-the field technique, surprisal analysis (SA), that will revolutionize and reinvigorate the quest for personalized medicine in cancer therapeutics. Furthermore, SA is extended beyond just a theoretical approach by developing targeted microfluidic biotechnology for clinical use.
