Biomarkers in first-void urine for improved diagnosis and monitoring

Advantages of urine as clinical sample – non-invasive, through self-collection, and at-home collection – are well accepted. However, the use of (first-void) urine as source of biomarkers for diseases of the urinary genital track is much less explored. This project will demonstrate the value of (first-void) urine as liquid biopsy for diagnosis of cervical (pre)cancer lesions, determining progression of HPV infection, and defining immunity towards HPV infection.
