About
Dr. Antti Seppo is a leading figure in translational cancer diagnostics, with his work centered on the development of high-sensitivity technologies for liquid biopsy. His most influential contribution is the creation of an automated scanning fluorescence microscope for the detection of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood. This seminal 2008 paper, cited over 116 times, established a robust, automated method for identifying and enumerating CTCs, a critical advance for non-invasive cancer monitoring. By successfully analyzing blood samples from patients with prostate, colorectal, and ovarian cancers, Dr. Seppo demonstrated the clinical viability of his approach, distinguishing malignant cells from healthy controls with remarkable specificity. This foundational work has paved the way for more accessible and reliable cancer screening, enabling earlier detection and real-time tracking of disease progression. Dr. Seppo’s research continues to bridge the gap between complex bioanalytical engineering and practical oncology, offering a powerful tool for personalized medicine and improving patient outcomes through minimally invasive diagnostics.
