Australian biotech Microbio has had their InfectID-COVID-19 tests approved for sale in Europe. A revolutionary pathogen identification test, InfectID is a rapid, highly sensitive and adaptable test which addresses different target pathogens. Two SARS-CoV-2 tests by Microbio have been developed and received approval for sale in Europe under IVD Directive 98/79/EC. This approval enables the privately held scale-up to move into additional international markets, including India, North America, Africa, and Asia. The tests have a 100% success rate and have been compared to other real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests that claim to detect all variants. | shorturl.at/zFMNY

Cracking the code for diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic Cancer is the 3rd biggest killer of all cancers (set to rise to 2nd place) and despite this, there are still no effective diagnostic tools or treatments available. Oncoparse wants to change this by developing a next-generation diagnostic assay that will use a simple blood test to determine the Tumour DNA levels in the body allowing clinicians to make agile and informed decisions on patient treatment plans. Oncoparse is currently growing and would like to invite interested parties - be it to invest, join us in the labs or share experiences - to reach out to Martin (martin@oncoparse.com).

The man in question, Marc Gauthier, is still in control - his brain gives the instructions - but the epidural implant adds electrical signals for a smoother end result.For more information: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-67295526Original research in the journal Nature Medicine: https://rb.gy/ib6tzi
