About the project:
Selux Diagnostics is a US-based biotech company that is revolutionizing precision diagnostics for infectious diseases. Their mission is to confront the global threat of antimicrobial resistance through rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) that will deliver fast, personalized therapies for patients in need.
Challenge:
Antibiotic resistance is a global health crisis that is predicted to surpass deaths from cancer by 2050. Selux is addressing this problem and combating superbugs with their Next Generation Phenotyping (NGP) System, a rapid Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) system, that will transform patient care and personalized antibiotic therapies.
Developing this system required heavy engineering work on custom laboratory robotic instruments as well as extensive effort developing the Site Software platform which ties together these instruments, the user, and the laboratory’s existing equipment and databases. With the instrument development underway, the only missing component for Selux was a software partner to augment their existing Site Software team to expand the capabilities within tight timelines.
