Detectogen Inc
Detectogen Inc is a Westborough-based company that is dedicated to developing and producing simple, affordable, and user-friendly diagnostic tests for detecting human diseases. Their focus is on neglected infectious diseases such as leishmaniasis, tuberculosis, and malaria, utilizing non-invasive samples like urine or saliva. Detectogen aims to provide low-cost diagnostic tests to foundations and government institutions for use in less developed areas of the world.
The company is currently working on the development of a urine-based diagnostic test for visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a serious disease that affects hundreds of thousands of people annually and is particularly deadly for children. They have identified leishmanial biomarkers in urine and have developed a powerful antigen detection capture ELISA test that shows high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing active VL. Detectogen is also expanding its portfolio to include a rapid antigen detection test for malaria in South America.
