As the vibrant atmosphere of MEDICA 2023 approaches, we at Panadea Diagnostics GmbH are thrilled to announce our participation as exhibitors in one of the world's largest medical trade fairs. With a mission to revolutionize diagnostics and combat tropical and emerging infectious diseases, our journey from a spin-off of the renowned Bernhard-Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg to a promising start-up has been nothing short of remarkable. In this article, we'll delve into the exciting developments surrounding our company and give you a glimpse of what to expect at our booth during the highly anticipated MEDICA 2023 expo.
"… commercially available tests – if they exist at all for the corresponding pathogens – do not always work reliably when used in endemic areas."
- Dr. Christina Deschermeier (CSO Panadea).
At the heart of our success lies our product portfolio, which focuses on ELISA assays specifically designed to detect IgG or IgM antibodies against tropical and emerging infectious disease pathogens.
These assays play a crucial role in identifying diseases caused by pathogens such as the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Dengue and Zika viruses, and many others. By harnessing the power of state-of-the-art technology and extensive research, our team has developed highly accurate and reliable assays that enable healthcare professionals, health surveillance organisations and policy makers to make timely decisions for effective patient care and public health.
