Collaborative research agreement with Edgewood Chemical Base - Evaluation of the Maven Diagnostic platform for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The Maven Diagnostic platform was able to correctly identify all multi-bacillary leprosy patients presenting a good quantitative correlation with the bacterial index.

Combined detection of these biomarkers significantly improved the diagnostic potential, particularly for multi-bacillary leprosy in all three regions, in line with data obtained in Bangladesh.
