Diagnostic kits for developing countries

This instant blood diagnostic kit was developed for resource-poor regions of the globe, and allows for on-the-spot detection of infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B and chlamydia.

Lab-grown human organs

"Mini-organs" – including livers, lungs and intestines – can now be grown from the stem cells of individual patients, allowing doctors to safely test the specific effects of drugs – outside the body.
