ARPA-H Launches POSEIDON Program To Help Move Cancer Moonshot Forward

What if a simple test could save millions of lives by catching cancer early? As part of the Biden Cancer Moonshot, ARPA-H’s Platform Optimizing SynBio for Early Intervention and Detection in Oncology (POSEIDON) program will invest in new technologies to develop cancer screenings that accurately detect a number of cancers, even at home. POSEIDON aims to fundamentally change the field of cancer screening by developing first-in-class, over-the-counter, multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests that screen for 30+ cancers at Stage 1. POSEIDON intends to develop non-invasive synthetic sensors and reporters to reliably detect cancer from breath or urine samples at home. Interested in learning more about this new ARPA-H funding opportunity? Register by Tuesday, August 27, at 12:00 p.m. ET to attend POSEIDON’s in-person Proposers’ Day on Wednesday, September 4, in Baltimore, Maryland.
