HealthTell Inc., a biotechnology startup company, is expanding to the Innovations Incubator in Chandler.

HealthTell has developed a system for providing "immunosignatures" for early screening and diagnosis of multiple diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer's.

"Immunosignatures provide a powerful new tool for clinicians," said Bill Colston, the company's CEO.

Instead of looking for small amounts of cancer cells in the blood, researchers are measuring the body's response to the cancer or its immunosignature.

"This allows for much earlier, sensitive detection than current techniques, and is useful against a wide battery of diseases," Colston said.

Each disease generates a unique signature that consists of thousands of independent measurements, all from a single drop of blood. Signatures for more than 30 diseases have been generated. The test is relatively simple compared with existing molecular diagnostics, at lower cost. The test is not yet being used commercially.

The new technology was developed in research by Stephen Albert Johnston and Neal Woodbury, scientific founders of HealthTell and professors in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University.
