2024 was a busy year for our team! In addition to working with over 60 companies and innovators on advancing diagnostics technologies, we launched a diagnostics innovation roadmap to further support the community and made some exciting investments into additional lab resources to help advance diagnostics tools. https://lnkd.in/gXiDPeei If you haven’t already, check out our diagnostics innovation roadmap which provides a detailed description of the specific milestones and checklists that will support successful translation of new technologies. Even better, our roadmap lists ecosystem partners who can guide you throughout this journey, including Alberta Centre for Advanced Diagnostics, Institute of Health Economics, University of Alberta and API Health Innovation Hub, University of Calgary Life Sciences Innovation Hub, and Alberta Precision Laboratories. Through ADEPT, we can connect you, guide you through each stage, provide end-user expertise and advance you towards clinical trials - all here in Alberta! We’ve also been working on some exciting new partnerships which will further strengthen the resources we are building and demonstrate our capacity to support diagnostics innovation. More to come on this in 2025! And last but not least, thank you to all the support from Alberta Innovates which has allowed us to build this program.
