This morning, #CODX announced it is the recipient of a grant award from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for its tuberculosis test planned for the company's Co-Dx PCR platform. This is the third grant award from the Gates Foundation this year, following two earlier awards to support the development of the tuberculosis test as well as a test for human papillomavirus (HPV). The new Co-Dx platform technology is expected to play a role in the decentralization of #diagnostics, allowing more patients to benefit from real-time PCR diagnostics, including those in areas of the world where infrastructure has been a barrier to access. #POCT #pcrtesting #stopTB The Co-Dx PCR platform and its associated products are subject to FDA review and are not available for sale. https://lnkd.in/dYBZQHCT

About us
MISSION STATEMENT Co-Diagnostics, Inc (Co-Dx) was founded in 2013 with a mission to democratize access to molecular diagnostics, to transform healthcare delivery and to create a positive impact on a global scale by enabling availability of robust, high-quality, affordable polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) technology—especially to regions of the world where the need is greatest. Our patented Co-Primers™ technology is paving the way for innovation in disease detection and life sciences research, while we are preparing to launch an innovative at-home and point-of-care real-time PCR testing platform. The purpose of the new Co-Dx PCR Pro™ instrument and tests is to make high-quality real-time PCR diagnostics (the gold-standard of infectious disease testing) widely accessible where it is needed most, including in remote areas, at the point-of-care or even at home, all at affordable prices.

A new report from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control highlights why #CODX PCR-based vector control technology is so important: “Europe is already seeing how climate change is creating more favourable conditions for invasive mosquitos to spread into previously unaffected areas and infect more people with diseases such as dengue...Personal protective measures combined with vector control measures, early detection of cases, timely surveillance, further research and awareness-raising activities are paramount in those areas in Europe most at risk.” As climate change exacerbates challenges, Co-Diagnostics' vector control solutions are even more important, enabling real-time, on-site surveillance of mosquito populations. https://lnkd.in/dY8Y9C5e #MosquitoWeek #PCR #VectorControl

Deseret News recently published a story delving into the intersection of AI and healthcare, exploring both its benefits and challenges. As part of the story, Co-Diagnostics was highlighted for the innovative use of machine learning/AI including in test design. Proprietary AI algorithms identify the best possible location in a microorganism's genome to design a Co-Primers test, and the Company also foresees a world where diagnoses can even be data-driven (using information provided by the Co-Dx PCR Pro), powered by AI. This underscores our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology for impactful healthcare solutions. Take a look at the full story in Deseret News to learn more about this fascinating intersection of science and innovation! https://lnkd.in/gkDDvrXa #POCT #PCR #AI
