Speakers:
- Professor Till Bachmann, Deputy Head of Infection Medicine & Personal Chair of Molecular Diagnostics and Infection
- Claus Marquordt, Co-Founder & CEO Integrated Graphene Ltd
Summary:
The Bachmann Lab developed electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) based biosensors for point of care acute infection detection. Their key feature is the label and target amplification of free nucleic acid detection enabling truly mobile molecular diagnostics.
Integrated Graphene Ltd developed a completely novel process to manufacture purest graphene in a foam-like 3D matrix on a variety of materials. This offers the manufacturing of low cost high performance disposable test kits.
It was anticipated the merging of these technologies could be used to satisfy Covid testing demand in the short term and will pave the way for future diagnostic tests for other infections. Edinburgh Innovations has helped the two collaborate together, protect the intellectual property, identify sources of possible follow on funding for research and to support a PhD in Infection Medicine.
