Bacterial infections are rising worldwide and their increasing resistance to antibiotics threatens to make once simple-to-treat infections a matter of life or death. The first step to treat and prevent the spread of these infectious diseases is diagnosis.  GeneWeave Biosciences is creating rapid bacterial tests that provide lab-quality precision but require no lab equipment, technical training, or even electricity.

 

Our first product will be a 10 minute diagnostic kit that specifically determines the presence of drug-resistant bacteria such as MRSA.  These kits are made possible by a patent-pending Cornell technology invented by the company's co-founders.  When incorporated into diagnostic kits and devices this technology will:

 

  • Diagnose patients at the point-of-care
  • Determine drug-resistance profile of specific bacteria
  • Offer lab-quality sensitivity & specificity (>90%)
  • Be less than 1/3 the cost of other rapid tests
  • Integrate into hospital infection control plans
  • Work without lab equipment, software, highly trained staff, or even electricity

    I think is a great idea! At future they could design more diagnostic devices like that. I was working with them and I tell you that´s a new enterprise with new future perpectives. They use nature against nature to design a good diagnostic devices.
    Good lucky and kindest regards
