PBD Biotech will be showcasing Actiphage® a blood test that detects ‘active’ disease causing tuberculosis infection at a very early stage. It has applications in latent TB screening and drug management.
The AACC Annual Scientific Meeting is the place to discuss cutting-edge science and technology that is shaping the future of laboratory medicine. New approaches for test and treat of tuberculosis are vital to eradicate this preventable disease.
In addition to improved diagnostics for screening of patients at high risk of TB disease progression, there is also an urgent need for better tests to accurately predict drug treatment success at an earlier stage, minimising the development of drug resistance.
Actiphage meets both these requirements and offers the potential for a ‘test of cure’ companion diagnostic for TB drug treatment by confirming active TB has been eradicated from the bloodstream.
Phage-based diagnostics are discussed in the free-to-view webinar ‘Phage-Based Laboratory Diagnostics Role in the Detection of Tuberculosis’ hosted by the American Association of Clinical Chemistry (AACC)
PBD Biotech at AACC
PBD Biotech is a clinical-stage diagnostic company and pioneer in phage-based diagnostics. We are focused on the development of Actiphage for the detection of tuberculosis in latent TB screening and drug management and actively seeking partners to support Actiphage research and development.
Come and find us on booth 4578 at the 2023 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting, Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, July 23-27. Our booth is opposite the poster display area.
