Detecting Disease via Mobile Phone
Laura White from Newcastle University interviewed Professor Jeremy Lakey, Dr Dale Athey and Dr
Andrew Sails about OJ-Bio's core technology and its applications.
Find out how OJ-Bio's technology could soon be used in remote parts of the developing world to
diagnose infectious diseases, and in homes in the Western world to manage chronic illnesses.
Professor Jeremy Lakey explains how Orla's protein immobilisation technology based on a
research project at Newcastle University is used to convert Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) chips into
biosensors capable of detecting biomarkers in samples. The resulting device enables tests to be
carried out quickly, easily and on the spot.
