Better Diagnostic Tests

We have a programme of work which develops novel diagnostic tests which more accurately diagnose important disease in a non-invasive manner

Many companion animal diseases are challenging to diagnosis. Consequently, there is a clear need to develop better diagnostic tests which can diagnose important diseases more accurately and less invasively. We have a long track record of developing new tests which improve the ability of vets across the world to diagnose diseases.
