Nanogen Announces Collaboration with Canadian Agencies to Develop Veterinary and Bioterror Diagnostics
"Although the majority of our NanoChip(R) instruments are used in basic research and human clinical diagnostics applications, we have always known that the platform's flexibility confers benefit in other markets, such as veterinary diagnostics and the monitoring of bioterror threats," said Nanogen president and chief operating officer David Ludvigson.
The project, titled "Adaptation of Recently Developed DNA Microarrays to NanoChip Microarray Technology for Detection of Agroterrorism Agents" was approved by Defence Research and Development Canada through the CRTI Program (CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) Research and Technology Initiative (CRTI). Financial terms were not disclosed. Additional collaborators include the CFIA's laboratory in Lethbridge, Alberta and the National Center for Foreign Animal Diseases located in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
