TheranOptics

We are an interdisciplinary team of material scientists, chemists and clinical specialists, supported by a network of wound care experts in Switzerland. We are an EPFL spin-off that develops the Fiber Lab, a new generation of microfluidic test strips for decentralized multipanel testing at a consumer price tag. We are developing a simple portable reader that fits in your pocket to deliver rapid, actionable results from a panel of biochemical indicators. Our vision is to become a leading biochemical test manufacturer that competes with lateral flow assay for multiplexed on-site testing in resource-limited environments. MD-PhD candidate at UNIGE, experienced researcher in molecular/cell biology and clinical trials, passionate about entrepreneurship for an impact in public health. World-renowned pioneer in manufacturing technology, extensive experience in technology transfer with start-ups. We leverage a unique patent-pending manufacturing process developed at EPFL to produce ready-to-use tests strips at large scale and low cost, the FiberLab. The FiberLab is a versatile point-of-care testing solution compatible with a variety of commercially available homogeneous laboratory assays (immuno-, enzymatic amplification, proteolytic activity).
