Showcasing
Terrain Solutions provide a technology that resolves soil chemistry and combines this with big data to advance soil health and farm management planning.
EndoNab’s mission is to develop rapid, effective, cheap, and less-invasive diagnostic testing for endometriosis, recognising this health issue as an unmet medical need. Our novel and highly sensitive testing kit package recognises unique miRNA signatures for endometriosis from a simple blood test in any regular pathology-testing lab.
Vitamize provides an app of health questionnaires designed by medical professionals that, combined with our in-house computer modelling system, will determine the best supplement blends to optimise a health lifestyle.
DiagnosTree have designed a tree-specific lateral flow device to rapidly detect the presence of disease-stemming fungi within trees. This enables the immediate detection and removal of hard-to-diagnose, infected trees to prevent mass spreading. Our proof of concept involves the detection of Conifer Root and Butt Rot that threatens conifer trees globally, and thereby the timber, construction, paper industries, and the environment as a whole.
