Overview
Burnet Diagnostics Initiative (BDI) is a commitment by Burnet Institute to develop the systems, resources, and processes to support diagnostics product development and enhance translation of its point-of-care diagnostics research into practical health solutions.
The majority of people living in rural and remote areas of the developing world have limited access to testing. There is a clear need for the development of simple, low-cost and accurate tests that are essential to improving the health of poor and vulnerable communities.
BDI is filling this gap for rapid point-of-care diagnostics that can be operated in the field without the expensive infrastructure of traditional diagnostics.
We will translate existing and new technologies to health solutions and maximise their accessibility to vulnerable populations especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
This website was developed with the generous support of a donor.
Burnet Institute (Australia) is located on the traditional land of the Boon Wurrung people and we offer our respects to their Elders past and present. We recognise and respect the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this land.
