St. John’s Research Institute (SJRI) in Bengaluru is one of the four international sites that will actively collaborate with Cornell University in the USA for development, deployment, clinical validation, and commercialisation of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic devices and technologies.
These devices and technologies will help POC detection of nutritional deficiencies, infections and cancers globally in resource-limited settings where access to better diagnostics can have the largest impact.
The collaborative effort follows an interdisciplinary team led by Cornell University receiving a five-year grant to launch a new centre for engineering, testing, and commercialising POC diagnostic devices that will have international reach.
