Breath Biopsy for Discovery of Novel Asthma Biomarkers
Exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) reflect molecular processes related to chronic inflammation in asthma. This makes VOCs in exhaled breath ideal biomarkers for diagnosis, stratification of asthma phenotypes to enable precision medicine, ensuring patients receive the most optimal treatment.
Owlstone Medical’s breath sampling and analysis technology offers a non-invasive way to study VOC biomarkers in asthma.
