Iceni Glycoscience Limited

Nature produces a range of carbohydrate polymers -- e.g. starch, cellulose, chitin -- which have important properties that support a wide range of biological structures and processes. These materials are also widely exploited across market sectors -- thickeners in processed food; tableting agents; absorbent materials in sanitary products; wound dressings;...

In any infectious disease outbreak, the rapid triage of potential carriers of infection is essential to control the spread of infection and to allocate resources efficiently. Iceni Diagnostics is repurposing the technology most famously used in the home pregnancy test kit to create a new generation of rapid, point-of-care diagnostics. These studies are be...

In any infectious disease outbreak, the rapid triage of potential carriers of infection is essential to control the spread of infection and to allocate resources efficiently. We will repurpose the technology, most famously used in the pregnancy test, to create a new diagnostic to rapidly identify coronavirus carriers. This approach requires no infrastruct...

ICENI Diagnostics provides point of care (POC) diagnostics and carbohydrate-based therapeutics, with a focus in infectious disease. A single device, dual assay human viruses, the subject of this proposal, has its basis in synthetic biology and is dependent on the assembly of recognition ligands using enzymatic production processes.. The developed assay us...
