Co-primary investigators Knapp and Mohammadi received $44,656 for "Detecting Transitional Cell Carcinoma and Leptospirosis in Urine." The innovation has been licensed from the Office of Technology Commercialization to Molecular Diagnostics, a startup company. The project focuses on creating a fast, noninvasive and low-cost cancer screening technique. The initial focus is detecting bladder cancer in dogs, but the eventual goal is detecting bladder cancer and other disease in people.

Medicinal chemistry researchers at Purdue University are further developing a potential immunotherapy treatment for cancer; this one focused on the particular mutation of an enzyme. "While recent progress in cancer immunotherapy has led to revolutionary success in multiple cancer types, most cancer patients do not benefit from immunotherapy," Zhong-Yin Zhang, head of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, and director of the Purdue Institute for Drug Discovery, said in a release. "Thus, there is an urgent need for additional strategies."
