Tell us more about these other things that you're into now.

Yeah, I mean, that one is striking because if you can monitor a person that you're trying to treat their cancer successfully and know that you're doing well with respect to, you know, this whole tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, if you can know what's going on in those dynamics, know that point about you could take these cells and use them to be part of the treatment, it's pretty striking.

And what about this intracellular delivery thing?

That's another zone that I was unclear.

I didn't know you're working on that, too.

Yeah, yeah, no.

So I just wanted to make sure that people who are listening, watching, realize that even though this ingenious work on the sensor, continuous sensor of proteins, it's just one part of a multifaceted approach that you're taking that are pretty unique, pretty impressive.

Now, let's go back to the principal topic, which is

the ability to track a protein or proteins in a person on a continuous basis in real time, reporting to that individual if there's something that's off track.

This came about, it seems to me, in part because of interdisciplinary expertise.

You have yourself a chemistry and biomedical engineering background at the leading institutions in the country.

So you think of things differently.

And then you probably have a team that does that.

You have people coming from different.

I mean, when you crack this case, which, you know, was only something you could imagine.

some years ago.

Do you think that this was the key that you just, because you have a fusion of different areas of biomedical expertise?

Well, it certainly shows.

Now, are you aware of any other group around the world that has done work like this where, you know, without reagents, little electricity shaking off the protein to be able to assay it?

I mean, this is something that I haven't heard elsewhere besides, is there any other group that's onto it now?
