SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar "IPLEXMED: Driving the Next Generation of Diagnostics from Lab to Life"
DESCRIPTION:October 2nd at 1 pm\, don’t miss Bruno Almeida’s “IPLEXMED: Driving the Next Generation of Diagnostics from Lab to Life” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nIPLEXMED\, a spin-off from the University of Minho and INL\, is developing NEXAGUARD®—a portable\, graphene-based diagnostic platform delivering lab-quality results in 20 minutes at the point of care or at home. Validated at TRL 6 with multiple patents filed\, it targets bacterial respiratory infections and AMR\, with plans to expand to STDs\, sepsis\, and hospital-acquired infections. Market launch is set for 2027 with a scalable “razor-and-blade” model\, driving faster diagnostics\, improved treatments\, and lower healthcare costs worldwide.
