UK AgTech - 75323 BTBPF: Gold Nanorod Diagnostic Test and Data Management System for Detection and Control of Bovine Tuberculosis
FY 2021-22 · 2021-05-10
Summary
UK AgTech consortium project 75323 led by Clarity Biosolutions Ltd (UK) in collaboration with Dynamic Extractions Ltd (UK), Bond Digital Health Ltd (UK) and Sona Nanotech Inc (Canada) aim to develop a gold nanorod diagnostic test and data management system for detection and control of bovine tuberculosis.
This precise herd management tool will enable improved control of bTB spread and be a world first. Sona Nanotech will undertake the development of a quantitative lateral flow assay, using their unique gold nanorods, to aid in the detection of bovine tuberculosis. It builds on world-leading “omics” research by Professor Luis Mur at Aberystwyth University, with the most promising biomarker identified by the Aberystwyth team to be used as the target for development of an LF test, using antibodies developed in-house or from commercial sources. Test analysis will be conducted by a novel low-cost reader to be developed by Clarity Biosciences. Data analysis and management will be led by Bo

Description (French)
Le projet 75323 du consortium AgTech britannique dirigé par Clarity Biosolutions Ltd (Royaume-Uni) en collaboration avec Dynamic Extractions Ltd (Royaume-Uni), Bond Digital Health Ltd (Royaume-Uni) et Sona Nanotech Inc. (Canada) vise à mettre au point un test de diagnostic à base de nanorobots d'or et un système de gestion de données pour la détection et le contrôle de la tuberculose bovine. Cet outil précis de gestion de troupeaux permettra de mieux contrôler la propagation de la tuberculose bovine et constituera une première mondiale. Sona Nanotech entreprendra le développement d'un test quantitatif à flux latéral, utilisant ses nanorobots d'or uniques, pour aider à la détection de la tuberculose bovine. Il s'appuie sur les recherches « omiques » de pointe menées par le professeur Luis Mur à l'Université d'Aberystwyth. Le biomarqueur le plus prometteur déterminé par l'équipe d'Aberystwyth sera utilisé comme cible pour la mise au point d'un test LF, à l'aide d'anticorps développés en interne ou provenant de sources commerciales. L'analyse du test sera effectuée à l'aide d'un nouveau lecteur à faible coût qui sera conçu par Clarity Biosciences. L'analyse et la gestion des données seront dirigées par Bo.
