LENIMA FIELD DIAGNOSTICS

Lenima Field Diagnostics (LFD), LLC, was formed by Drs. Wan Shih and Wei-Heng Shih in 2013 to develop molecular diagnostic tests for a wide range of applications in acute as well as chronic infectious disease and circulating cancer marker detection. It has an option agreement to license the piezoelectric plate sensor (PEPS) technology invented by the Shihs at Drexel University. The PEPS technology is capable of self-amplification of its detection signal, affording unprecedented sensitivity, greatly simplifying its genetic testing process, permitting low-cost, rapid, and simultaneous testing of multiple nucleic acids including both DNAs and RNAs in a single step, label-free, and in less than 30 minutes without the need of DNA/RNA isolation, RNA reverse transcription, nucleic acid amplification (NAAT), or expensive fluorescent labels used in current genetic testing... Lenima aims to raise $2MM in two years for the development of the first clinical prototype. So far, Lenima has..
