Title:
UK AgTech - 75323 BTBPF: Gold Nanorod Diagnostic Test and Data Management System for Detection and Control of Bovine Tuberculosis
Agreement Number:
971146
Agreement Value:
$433,577.00
Agreement Date:
May 10, 2021 - Sep 30, 2023
Description:
UK AgTech consortium project 75323 led by Clarity Biosolutions Ltd (UK) in collaboration with Dynamic Extractions Ltd (UK), Bond Digital Health Ltd (UK) and Sona Nanotech Inc (Canada) aim to develop a gold nanorod diagnostic test and data management system for detection and control of bovine tuberculosis. This precise herd management tool will enable improved control of bTB spread and be a world first. Sona Nanotech will undertake the development of a quantitative lateral flow assay, using their unique gold nanorods, to aid in the detection of bovine tuberculosis. It builds on world-leading “omics” research by Professor Luis Mur at Aberystwyth University, with the most promising biomarker identified by the Aberystwyth team to be used as the target for development of an LF test, using antibodies developed in-house or from commercial sources. Test analysis will be conducted by a novel low-cost reader to be developed by Clarity Biosciences. Data analysis and management will be led by Bo
