Genetic Microdevices
About Us
We have a strong track record in medical technology development, including physics, chemistry, electronics, microfluidics and related manufacturing methods.
The company is currently raising funds to support the commercialization of its first products that target the life science and related sectors research needs. This will set the stage for its commercialization of its technology in innovative point of care applications such as diagnostics and personalized treatments.
Technology
blood, saliva and urine with unprecedented resolution, speed and reproducibility in a miniature fluidic chip.
Our disposable chips coupled with our high performance readers will enable the cost-effective screening of the general population for disease biomarkers that normally require state-of-the-art expensive analytical protocols.
For example, we perform analysis of cancer related assays in less than 5 minutes at a cost per analysis that is a fraction of popular ELISA analyses that take 10 hours or more to perform.
In DNA sequencing, a specially designed DNA chip, allows for diagnostic sequencing with long reads, next generation speed at a fifth of the cost compared to popular Next Generation Sequencers.
The cost effectiveness, ease of use, accuracy and long read lengths of the GMD technology platform makes the technology suitable for life science research, diagnostics and point of care applications.
Investor Relations
and diagnostic devices as well as in their use for analysing biomarkers in cancer, CVD and chronic illness.
This will assist healthcare institutions and payers to help patients and manage costs, by diagnosing disease early and by providing personalised therapies.
Our cost effective but powerful technology will tip the balance from post-diagnosis therapies, to wide population screening strategies, that will help many more people. In addition it will open up the routine use of complex biological analysis at the point of care, enhancing treatment outcomes affordably.
Our Vision
We aspire to become global leaders in analytical and diagnostic devices and to sustain high growth through innovation.
Ultimately, we aim to democratise access to state-of-the-art biological analyses by dramatically reducing costs.

Andreas Manz PhD
Scientific Advisor
A pioneer of microchip technology used for chemical applications. Development of high speed analyzers based on electrophoresis, chromatography and flow injection. Based on the micro-fabrication originally developed for microelectronics.
Developed a novel concept for Miniaturized Total Analysis Systems (µ-TAS). Published over 220 papers in scientific journals, which are cited over 16,000 times.
Tim Watts
UK ADVISORY BOARD
Former biotech CFO in both PLC (Oxford BioMedica, OXB) and private equity backed (Archimedes Pharma) companies and extensive experience in Big Pharma (AstraZeneca). General management experience gained through membership of senior executive teams at OXB (2012-2017) and Archimedes (2007-2011), and AZ International Sales & MarketingOrganisation (1999-2002).
Harold Swerdlow
CTO
Harold Swerdlow played a pivotal role in the evolution of next-generation DNA sequencing technologies, both through his work at Solexa/Illumina and as the pioneer of using capillary electrophoresis for DNA sequencing.
At Solexa, he significantly advanced sequencing-by-synthesis technology, crucial for reducing the cost and time of DNA sequencing.
As the first scientist to demonstrate DNA sequencing utilizing capillary electrophoresis, he transformed DNA analysis by offering a scalable and precise alternative to traditional methods. Swerdlow's contributions have been foundational, enabling significant advancements in genomics and personalized medicine.
