What our device allows us to do is to grab virus, bacteria, and cancer cells intact. So next level for us is the interrogation. Now, when you look the way I do and you talk about interrogation, you should be a little bit afraid.

And the idea is now you can elute, like rinse the filter, take the stuff off, and say, what is this stuff? So in cancer cells, I want to know what makes that cell so chemoresistant. Because if it has to attack, it's going to have a vulnerability. Maybe we can fight it. Maybe we can get an ADC for it or a new kind of therapy. It's already on the shelf that no one knew would work for this.

If you have some goofy virus or if I'm taking off spike protein, well, let's take it off. Did that spike protein... interact with a new thing to create a new agent or a new particle, which happens, right? Because normally the spike protein is a trimer, meaning there's three of them, like a clover leaf that's floating around. Well, does it grab onto something else?

That's what makes someone have long COVID versus not having long COVID. So I think that the science for grabbing things intact and learning from them is very powerful. Now, one of the things which you know very well is...

If you are a cancer survivor, they don't ever say this, but in a quiet moment, they will tell you every morning they wake up and they ask themselves, is today the day my cancer comes back? And we all have loved ones who either died from cancer, who have cancer, who you're hoping never comes back. Well, what we typically do is we PET scan them.

So we're looking to see little shoots of cancer in their body that we can see on a PET scan. Well, what if I can look for the seeds in their blood every six months or every year? State zero. Wouldn't that be better? Oh, and by the way, when I do that procedure, I clear all the seeds out. Yeah, not just the cancer seeds. That's right.
