Yaathum Biotech Private Limited

yaathum biotech was started to indigenously develop affordable diagnostics for rapid and near patient testing of emerging infectious diseases like dr-tb, ebola, swine flu, dengue, leptospirosis, malaria, hiv and screening /diagnostic/ prognostic testing of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, thalassemia based on real-time quantitative pcr (qpcr) and other advanced bio-medical technologies. we are currently developing a multiplex qpcr based diagnostic test kit that will make possible the identification of full range of drug resistant tuberculosis (dr-tb) at one third the present cost, taking a few hours to test and capable of identifying all multi drug resistant mdr-tb and extensively drug resistant xdr-tb strains in a single test which is not available at present. yaathum biotech has been recently awarded a highly competitive grant (big scheme) from birac-dbt for this project. we expect to make huge societal and market impact through this innovation. we have official collaborative
