Hexsor has thrived thanks to the support and opportunity provided by the Liverpool City Region, and this week, we are privileged to launch our latest R&D project in our home city, in partnership with the world-leading School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM).
Approached earlier in the year by LSTM staff keen to understand the potential medical applications of our technology, we have spent the past few months in conversation with the School’s research team and this week begin work on Phase 1 of a project designed to deliver a rapid and accurate solution for the detection of COVID-19 in wastewater within the LSTM diagnostic COVID-19 research framework.
A successful testing phase promises to open up a host of new opportunities for the company, both in relation to the detection of Covid-19 and a number of other healthcare applications, the potentials of which we are just beginning to explore. Combining the resources and knowledge of the LSTM Covid-19 research team with Hexsor’s technological expertise, we are confident that this local partnership will deliver results with global impacts.
