It was a great opportunity to attend the annual meeting of the ARC Research Hub for Connected Sensors. It was also amazing to see how scientific innovations in sensing are translated into real life-changing tools. I was very pleased to be the winner of a best poster award for representing UNSW and Nutromics collaborative efforts to build the first wearable lab-on-a batch continous monitoring technology. Very grateful for the opportunity, the support and the inspiration I have received from my supervisor and mentor, Prof. Justin Gooding. Also great organization and efforts by the Hub directors, CIs and the amazing Elly Pineda and Katrina Novosel

For a period, David Bindloss did not imagine a marriage between his interest in computers and work that could make strides towards the future of healthcare. His career thus far exemplifies the transformative power of passion and perceiving work as more than just income. David’s story is a testament to the significance of finding meaningful work that goes beyond personal satisfaction. "I had this want to learn how things were built,” he reminisces. “Instead of just playing video games, I used to look at them and think, ‘How did they build this?’” David shares that it is a privilege to work at Nutromics, particularly due to the importance of the data generated from clinical studies. Properly representing and communicating this data is crucial for conveying the magnitude of Nutromics' achievements to the broader audience. As David reflects on two years with the company, he remains as passionate and excited about Nutromics' potential as he was on his first day.

Meet Julian Gerson — Senior R&D Scientist Julian completed his PhD at UCSB, focusing on the translation of aptamer sensors from the bench to the body. 🧬 He has been working with aptamer-based sensors for eight years, adapting and expanding the platform to perform in novel body compartments to enable modeling of drugs across different body compartments. 🔬 He is passionate about using innovative science to help save lives! 🎿 Outside of work Julian enjoys skiing, football, and anything food related. . . . #wearable #healthcare #diagnostics #MeetTheTeam #culture #startup #team #STEM #nutromics

The other week, the CBC reported about a tragic incident involving Wendy Guimont, a piano teacher who lost her life due to kidney failure caused by a severe reaction to Vancomycin. Vancomycin, while effective at treating infections like staph and sepsis, requires extensive monitoring to avoid complications. Overdosing can result in vancomycin-induced kidney injury, with occurrence ranging from 10% in general patients and up to 45% in critical populations such as ICU patients. When vancomycin is dosed incorrectly it costs lives. In Wendy’s case, her vancomycin levels were not checked at the right time resulting in concentration levels that were too high and toxic. Blood levels of vancomycin must be kept within a narrow range in order to be effective and safe. As reported in the article, Wendy’s death was not due to “lack of staff” or “inappropriate ordering.” Rather, this tragedy was a result of inadequate diagnostics at inappropriate times. What could have been done to avoid this? Patients for Patient Safety Canada recommends patients ask questions about what medications are being administered and for what reason. Advances in continuous monitoring of vancomycin concentrations could help avoid these outcomes, thus saving lives.
