Our working group is a commitment by Burnet Institute to develop the systems, resources, and processes to support diagnostics product development and enhance translation of its point-of-care diagnostics research into practical health solutions.
We will translate existing and new technologies to health solutions and maximise their accessibility to vulnerable populations especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
The majority of people living in rural and remote areas of the developing world have limited access to testing. There is a clear need for the development of simple, low-cost and accurate tests that are essential to improving the health of poor and vulnerable communities.
BDI is filling this gap for rapid point-of-care diagnostics that can be operated in the field without the expensive infrastructure of traditional diagnostics.
