Ceo & Cofounder
CurrentDZD is developing a rapid diagnostic that uses whole genome sequencing and machine learning to combat the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections. By combining next-generation genome sequencing technologies and proprietary machine learning algorithms, our platform is designed to rapidly identify pathogen species and predict antimicrobial susceptibility. The diagnostic allows physicians to prescribe patients the most effective antibiotic in a matter of hours rather than days, as required by current culture-based methods. Our approach can be applied to a wide range of sample types and pathogens, providing a fast, comprehensive diagnostic that can lead to precise targeting of infectious disease treatment.
