AegirBio AB has received National Institutes of Health (NIH) programmatic approval for an accessibility project

AegirBio AB has received National Institutes of Health (NIH) programmatic approval for an accessibility project to be funded under the NIH/NIBIB’s Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative. In the first phase of the project, the company can receive up to approximately USD 1 million in milestone based payments with the potential for follow on funding if key feasibility milestones are met. Funding is dependent on reaching the milestones.

The company had applied in response to a call for COVID-19 home tests accessible to people with disabilities (https://www.poctrn.org/web/radx-accessible-tests/) with a project based on our emerging saliva testing platform. 

“We are excited to receive this approval as this project closely aligns with our vision for easy to use, saliva based testing for Covid-19, other infectious diseases, and biomarker monitoring. The RADx program has a history of supporting impactful, cutting-edge diagnostics and we are honored to be part of that program. I am immensely proud of our team for putting together a compelling proposal and working closely with NIH staff to refine the concept.” says Marco Witteveen, CEO AegirBio
