Genedrive PLC - Manchester, England-based point-of-care molecular diagnostics company - Awarded a multi-partner grant for the validation of its CYP2X19 ID kit from Innovate UK and the UK government Innovation Accelerator programme. Says the ’Devote’ grant will allow it to offer critical clinical tests in NHS settings.

Chief Executive Officer David Budd says: ‘Devote is an amazing opportunity to engage formally with a health system like the NHS to demonstrate the effectiveness of a new diagnostic approach. Access to the Acute Medicine Unit in real time has considerable value to Genedrive as further funding would allow us to progress ongoing product development quickly and efficiently, and would support the pathway to clinical validation of our Genedrive CYP2C19 ID kit.’
