The timely and accurate diagnosis of disease is necessary for treatments that maximize the patients’ survival and quality of life. For this, an ever-growing number of disease-related biomarkers is monitored, usually with expensive instruments. These tests may not be accessible at routine doctor’s appointments or even in emergency situations, as samples need to be sent […]

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, better known under the abbreviation AIDS, represents a spectrum of medical conditions caused by an infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV is primarily transmitted via unprotected sex and contaminated hypodermic needles and targets white blood cells causing a gradual shutdown of host’s immune system.

Complications in pregnancy affect 5 to 10% of women and can not only threaten the life or health of the mother and her child, but also cause irreversible changes in their metabolism and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. However, current methods can only predict them with very limited success, based on the mother’s medical history, i.e., […]

Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell disorder. It is a malignant disease caused by uncontrolled clonal proliferation of these cells in the bone marrow, leading to serious bone destruction.The disease develops in a very creeping manner and is detected at an early stage only by random examination. Major symptoms of the disease such as bone […]

Using smart nanostructures in clinical diagnostics is a joint project between us and IQS nano. IQS nano is a company developing smart technologies which are used in diverse fields such as lighting, biomedical devices or microchips. We believe that this collaboration is a huge step towards routine point-of-care diagnostics. Smart ready-to-use devices might be used […]

We are bringing the simplicity to the diagnostic lab. Analysis of genetic material is one of the key tools used in routine clinical diagnostics. The first essential step of such analyses involves extraction of nucleic acids from a given source material. Commonly available kits used for this purpose are usually limited to extraction from just […]
