Canine DeCoders, Inc.

Canine DeCoders trains dogs using rigorous protocols to screen for combined compounds related to disease that are released in breath. They specialize in cancer screening and plan to expand their dog teams to detect other diseases. They are building a scent research library and need frequent updates to maintain dog accuracy. They invite patients recently diagnosed with cancer who have not yet received treatment to donate a breath sample by breathing into three isolation face masks for 10 minutes each and filling out a brief Intake and Consent Form. A free Exhaled Breath Aerosol Screening Kit can be mailed to participants.
