The PBD Biotech international management team brings together expertise in diagnostics, clinical and veterinary science, disease management and policy.
PBD Biotech Limited specialises in the use of novel phage-based technology for the detection of tuberculosis and related mycobacterial diseases in the fields of human and veterinary diagnostics.
The company has developed proprietary technology that can be used to detect the presence of mycobacteria such as: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Human TB), second only to Covid as a fatal infectious disease; Mycobacterium (bovine TB) and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP; Johne’s disease), which are both significant causes of loss of profitability in the agricultural industry.
