- Additional information
- This multidisciplinary research collaboration demonstrates how innovative engineering can be used to miniaturise and deliver Point of Care diagnostics for infectious diseases and in resource-limited settings. The knowledge generated led to further international collaborations in Uganda and the Philippines and funding from BBSRC Newton Fund to develop field-deployable diagnostics to detect poultry diseases. Recently, through a highly collaborative and accelerated development with new SME Vidiia Ltd, these outputs were repurposed into a portable molecular diagnostic platform (Covid-19 test) which has received MHRA and other approvals. A licence with Vidiia Ltd was signed in January 2021 (www.vidiia.com). Named contact on request.
