Technical Summary
The Confidence in Concept (CIC) scheme is a key part of MRC’s translational research strategy and provides annual awards to institutions to flexibly support a portfolio of early stage translational research projects. CIC is designed to accelerate the transition from discovery research to viable translational projects by supporting preliminary studies to establish proof-of-concept so that the approach will then become competitive for more substantial translational funding.

| Title | Therapeutic targeting of chromosomal instability in cancer |
| Description | • Isolation of intact tumour cells from FFPE using the CellenONE instrument (protocol available on request). • Prototype FFPE single cell isolation protocol complete (available on request). • Prototype fresh frozen single cell isolation (tumour tissue and ascites) protocol complete (available on request). • Prototype library preparation protocol complete (available on request) for different tissue types: FFPE, fresh frozen and cell lines. • Reference dataset generated for single cells at different ploidy and cell cycle states to improve the copy number calling for each cell. |

| Impact | Milestone 1: genome-wide copy number profiling of gold-standard test samples (completed) Shallow whole genome sequencing of cell lines: CIOV1, PEO1, OVCAR3, NA12787 and tumour FFPE tissue test samples was completed. Milestone 2: comparison of whole-genome amplification and library preparation reagents (completed) 1. Isolation of nuclei and single cells from FFPE material: During the course of this grant we realised that isolation of single cells rather than nuclei was indeed possible from FFPE tissue. Furthermore, we also found that the proportion of ovarian tumour cells with micronuclei were not well characterised with single nucleus preparation, with crucial genomic information being lost. Isolation of the whole intact tumour cells has the advantage of containing all genomic information but also getting more information about the specific cell properties and its morphology (elongation, size, circulation). We successfully established protocol to isolate intact tumour cells from clinical FFPE tissues based on the Bolognesi methodology [PMCID 26864208] and optimise the method for the single cell identification (using nuclear marker - DAPI, tumour positive marker - cytokeratin and non-tumour positive marker - vimentin) and dispensation onto two plates formats: 96 and 384 well plate format using CelleOne instrument. Isolated intact cells from FFPE tissue using CellenOne instrument (channels: transmission, DAPI, cytokeratin and vimentin). 2. Optimisation of the shallow whole genome library prep for single cells isolated form FFPE tumour tissue: During the course of this grant we realised that the whole genome amplification reagents Sigma and Picoplex V1, and associated library kits NEB and Nextera flex, were not optimal and introduced noise compared to the Smarter PicoPlex Gold Single Cell DNAseq kit (Takara). Therefore, we put effort to test and optimise the workflow using Smarter PicoPlex Gold Single Cell DNAseq. Additionally, as ~70% cells from the initial sequencing runs showed poor data quality we also focused on improving the copy number calling for each cell by generating datasets for single cells at different ploidy and cell cycle states. We successfully optimised single cell whole genome library preparation using Smarter PicoPlex Gold Single Cell DNAseq kit (Takara) kit from FFPE tissue. Generated libraries showed no significant allele dropout and good data quality. Absolute copy number comparison between CIOV1 FFPE (A, C) and CIOV1 FF (B, D) and clinical FFPE (E). We successfully optimised sequencing conditions for single cell whole genome library preparation from FFPE tissue. We found that by adding 20% of PhX reference genome to the sequencing reaction significantly improved the data quality. We successfully generated a catalogue of shallow whole genome sequencing datasets from single cells at different ploidy and cell cycle. We selected four cell lines to generate high quality data to train the algorithm to improve single cell data analysis: normal diploid cell line (NA12787), tumour diploid cell line (PEO1), tumour diploid cell line with losses/haploid (CIOV1), triploid cell lin. All cells from cell lines were FACS sorted to obtain three populations: cells at G1, S and G2/M cell cycles. Single cells from all three populations were then isolated using CelleOne instrument and underwent optimised single cell whole genome library preparation using the Smarter PicoPlex Gold Single Cell DNAseq method and sequenced. Milestone 3: observing the effect of DNA repair enzymes (not performed) This was not performed as the current single cell whole genome library prep was optimised for FFPE samples without the need of using the DNA repair system. Milestone 4: reagent dilution and cost reduction (completed) During the experiments outlined under milestone 2 we tested 4x and 5x dilution and achieved accurate results. We successfully optimised the workflow for the single cell whole genome library preparation using Smarter PicoPlex Gold Single Cell DNAseq kit (Takara) kit on Mosquito robot from FFPE tissue. Our current optimised workflow uses 5x dilution reagents on a 384-plate format using automated Mosquito robot. The whole workflow from start to finish takes XX hours: single cell isolation (6hours), cell dispensing (4 hours), library preparation and sequencing (10hours + 16hours) and data analysis XX hours (under development). |

| IP Reference | PCT/GB2017/053326 |
| Protection | Patent application published |
| Year Protection Granted | 2016 |
| Licensed | No |
| Impact | Surgical prototype complete and tested in dead hearts. Trans-catheter prototype designed and parts purchased, awaiting assembly. Some beating heart experiments have been performed in the laboratories of LifeTec Group, Eindhoven under a standard CRO agreement. These demonstrated the viability of the device and its implantability in a beating heart, but not in a living animal. Unfortunately, further funding was not obtained, and so implantation in a living animal has not been tested. Due to funding not being obtained (notably MRC DPFS), the team has dispersed making the project hard to continue. Cambridge Enterprise have now allowed the relevant patent to lapse. Other devices in the mitral space are also now advancing rapidly. These factors mean that translation to the clinic is now unlikely. |
| Title | DigiBel |
| Description | The award was made in August 2019 and the funding available for use from late September, following a successful start to the coding there were major delays (4-5 months) in accessing grant funding following administrative changes in the University finance structure. Subsequently Covid restrictions have delayed clinical validation. Further funding to enable recoding of DigiBel as a web-app was awarded from ACT in addition to funding to undertake CE marking (MDD Class 1). CE marking is now in process using Global Regulatory Services Ltd. A service evaluation study registered at CUH has enables early usability and comparison to standard audiometry. Following CE marking, IRAS application will be made to enable formal clinical validation in the ENT department. Collaboration with Mr James Tysome and Prof Manohar Bance is planned to test DigiBel for conditions such as Meniere's disease in addition to use as a screening device. |
| Type | Products with applications outside of medicine |
| Current Stage Of Development | Early clinical assessment |
| Year Development Stage Completed | 2020 |
| Development Status | Under active development/distribution |
| Impact | Louise Allen has formed a start up company Cambridge Medical Innovation Ltd. to commercialise DigiBel following CE marking and clinical validation. The low cost of running Digibel on a standard iPad tablet make it suitable to be used as a standalone hearing testing web-app to be used by patients to monitor their hearing at home and in the community. DigiBel screening test will be teamed up with DigiVis vision screening test as an integrated school screening device which requires no expertise to administer. DigiBel could prove to be a useful tool in screening vision and hearing in LMICs. It runs on standard ipads with relatively cheap headphones. Good internet links which are often available even in rural areas in LMIC countries. |
| Title | DigiBel as a web-app was awarded from ACT in addition to funding to undertake CE marking (MDD Class 1). |
| Description | A pilot service evaluation study (which has been already been registered at CUH to compare measurements and usability of DigiBel to standard audiometry) will be undertaken. The major potential application for DigiBel is its use for screening in primary school age children and in the identification of children who would benefit from bone conduction hearing loss. The low cost of running Digibel on a standard iPad tablet make it suitable to be used as a standalone hearing testing web-app to be used by patients to monitor their hearing at home and in the community. DigiBel screening test will be teamed up with DigiVis vision screening test (now commercialised) as an integrated school screening device which requires no expertise to administer. |
| Type | Therapeutic Intervention - Complementary |
| Current Stage Of Development | Initial development |
| Year Development Stage Completed | 2022 |
| Development Status | Under active development/distribution |
| Impact | The affordable and child-friendly DigiVis and DigiBel apps will enable screening in more children both in the UK and in developing countries. There has already been interest from Unicef regarding the use of both tests in their projects across the world. |

| Title | The Chronic trial intraoperative echo confirming placement and functioning |
| Description | Five animals were implanted in early September 2018, with intraoperative echo confirming placement and functioning. Implantation time was under 1 minute in all cases. Intraoperative imaging showed adequate position and leaflet motion. Blood panels were unremarkable. Unfortunately, 4 out of 5 animals died within 14 days of implantation. Autopsy revealed severe thrombosis covering the proximal and distal surfaces of these valves. It appears that all animals had significant pulmonary insufficiency, leading to acute heart failure in 4 out of 5 cases. There were instances where leaflets failed to open and/or there was not complete coaptation at the centre of the valve. Taken together, the negative outcome was the result of turbulent flow due to poorly manufactured leaflets and not the device frame, materials or procedure. The surviving animal completed the 180-day follow-up period |
| Type | Therapeutic Intervention - Medical Devices |
| Year Development Stage Completed | 2018 |
| Development Status | Actively seeking support |
| Impact | Effective encapsulation of the alloy in a bio-compatible polymer proved more difficult than hoped, which delayed the project. Integration into a trans-catheter system has also been more difficult than hoped, resulting in a trans-apical or surgical approach being required, rather than trans-femoral. |
| Title | Development of a novel hearing computer application and modified headphone system for the DigiScreener sensory screening platform |
| Description | EG technology Ltd. undertook the initial coding work, developing the screening and threshold hearing test under instruction and following British Society of Audiology standards. This was coded as a windows app to be used on a laptop computer using a specific set of headphones and was completed in January 2020. Covid hit a few months later and we determined the need to have a test which could be undertaken as a web-application on a standard iPAD with a cheaper set of headphones - compatible with home use and monitoring. Although numerous on-line hearing tests and apps exist, these are non-standardised or CE marked, making them inappropriate for clinical decision making. The innovative approach of the new web-app, now called DigiBel includes: 1) web-app use to enable home use and self-testing by patients from 4 year and over 2) initial automated assessment of ambient noise level 3) accurate calibration of ipad system microphone and sound output by Institute of Sound and Vibration research in Southampton University 4) Conditioning pre-test to ensure patient understanding 5) configurable screening and threshold tests (frequency / tone type / screening standard) with child friendly options 6) bone conduction headphone testing facility 7) Feed back regarding test performance - false positive responses to aid clinical evaluation The second prototype was developed following accurate calibration of the system (4 different generations of ipad and the chose air-conduction headphones) at the ISVR as planned |
| Type Of Technology | e-Business Platform |
| Year Produced | 2020 |
| Impact | Covid-19 and the large backlogs in audiology have hampered clinical validation studies. DigiBel v1 is now live at www.digibel.co.uk . Following the validation studies the web-app will be licensed from Cambridge commercialised within the same portfolio as DigiVis (www.digivis.org) by CMI Ltd to give an affordable solution for vision and hearing screening in the UK and internationally. 40% of Local Authorities do not undertake the recommended Reception year school vision screening and 60% do not undertake hearing screening and yet 20% of children suffer from visual disorders such as amblyopia which require early detection to treat and many children are labelled as poor achievers due to hearing impediment which could be mitigated by the use of bone conduction headphones during class. The affordable and child-friendly DigiVis and DigiBel apps will enable screening in more children both in the UK and in developing countries. There has already been interest from Unicef regarding the use of both tests in their projects across the world. |

| Title | The UI/UX design - Artemis-A |
| Description | Procedure: Members of the app development team attended to demonstrate the app and collect feedback about the design and navigation preferences. At the start of each session, participants were given a demonstration of the CAT platform to show how items are selected from the bank of measures. Following this, the app development team presented three visual mock-ups for both mobile and desktop platforms using an interactive prototype and print assets. Participants were prompted to give feedback on the 'look and feel' of the app, select the best design and functionality features, and suggest additional improvements. |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Impact | The Artermis family of tools offer a wide range of applications for the identification of poor mental health to the routine monitoring of outcomes of treatment - this could increase access to services for hard to reach groups who might not identify themselves and needing help, such as children, job seekers etc |
