April 29th, 2014 Marvao Medical Devices, based in Galway, Ireland, has developed a technology platform called NexSite that aims to reduce the risk of catheter related infections. We first spotted CEO Chris Davey at the MedTech Invest conference in London last September where he was presenting some impressive early performance data for their first...
Genetics

February 20th, 2014 Whole genome sequencing holds great potential for enriching diagnoses and understanding hereditary risk factors for specific diseases. However, the sheer volume of data involved poses major technical challenges, which limits the utility of this approach. For this reason many clinical geneticists have turned to exome sequencing which...
