Maximilian Diehn, MD, PhD, assistant professor of radiation oncology from Standford University School of Medicine, shares senior authorship of a paper describing a technique that is sensitive enough to detect just one molecule of tumor DNA in a sea of 10,000 healthy DNA molecules in the blood.

More details from Standford School of Medcine News.
