Work Packages
By the end of project, we hope that the SniffPhone is not just a good concept
but one that revolutionizes cancer research and practice in general.
To achieve SniffPhone's objectives, a 42-month work plan has been designed.
SniffPhone contains six RTD work packages (WP) and three WPs related to management and dissemination/exploitation.
To make optimum use of resources, it is crucial to have lab-track and clinical-track research in parallel.
The end-point of the project will be a fully clinically validated, professional, and easy-to-use point-of-care in-vitro platform.
It will be validated for gastric cancer diagnosis and genomic testing.
The WPs are designed such that they either contribute essentially to the ‘lab-track’ or to the ‘clinical-track’ RTD
while encouraging synergies between the two through linking partners that contribute to both tracks.
