A researcher at Queen’s University Belfast spin-out GenoME Diagnostics has been awarded funding of £50,000 for its technology which provides more user friendly, accurate and cost-effective ovarian cancer tests.
The prize comes after Dr Shannon Beattie, the company’s chief operating officer, was named a winner in Innovate UK’s Women in Innovation Awards and comes with mentoring and other support.
She is one of 39 women across the UK to pick up the award which is designed to celebrate female entrepreneurs who have innovative ideas and ambitious plans that will inspire others.
