#covid19 Pandemics kill orders of magnitude more people than wars. You can spot a privileged person by their furious desire to get an OS holiday back, in the middle of a pandemic. Like demanding a jaunt to Vietnam in 1973, or the Somme in 1916.

Big announcement coming on 9News Melbourne with Emily Rice 4pm! Functional Materials and Microsystems RMIT Research Sharath Sriram MedTech Actuator Burnet Institute Buzz Palmer Design + Industry Michelle Gallaher @eezzed

Soterius with our collaborators Functional Materials and Microsystems was lucky to feature on 9News Australia today. Thank you Emily Rice for a wonderful piece. Ping Design + Industry for prototypes (supported by Wyndham City Council), MedTech Actuator and Burnet Institute for your help. #medtech #startuplife

This sensor can instantly detect #COVID19, even with no symptoms. Amazing tech to transform how we deal with outbreaks from RMIT’s Functional Materials and Microsystems & biomedical start-up Soterius Au, with collaborators @mip_dx Burnet Institute Design + Industry Vestech Medical ow.ly/5cnr50Fs935

Dr Ganganath Perera (far right) leads the biosensor development. Dr Md Ataur Rahman (centre) integrates the biosensors with battery-free, flexible electronic wireless modules. Leverages RMIT Research biosensor IP + intent to manufacture in Australia Invest Victoria @Vic_LeadSci

So great to share some of the incredible achievements by our collaborators RMIT University Soterius Au & MedTech Actuator

In the global fight against #COVID19 Victorian medical researchers create a #medtech sensor that instantly detects #coronavirus, even with no symptoms – great #colaboration from our institutes RMIT University Functional Materials and Microsystems RMIT Research Burnet Institute Soterius Au rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/…

“What’s at stake here [in NSW] is a growing Delta epidemic in a highly unvaccinated population and clearly nobody wants to tolerate that,” ⁦Prof Brendan Crabb⁩ said. “Burnet modelling suggests that the hard and fast method is the best bet.” The Sydney Morning Herald⁩ smh.com.au/national/nsw/r…

Another generous article by the MedTech Actuator, as a medtech or biotech innovator this program really helps you structure a company and network within the sector. #startup #medtech Functional Materials and Microsystems Sharath Sriram

Victorian medical research institute Burnet Institute is aiming to reduce the #infection rates of #hepatitisB, and associated liver #cancer by creating a simple, quick and affordable pin-prick test using a single drop of blood #research #health #Cancers nhmrc.gov.au/about-us/news-…

Australia can achieve World Health Organization (WHO) target to eliminate #hepC as public health threat. First, we must find thousands who are unaware of their infection 🔎 and get them treated. To reach priority populations we need creative strategies and partnerships. #HepCantWait #WorldHepatitisDay

MedTech Actuator #startup Soterius Au & RMIT University’s Sharath Sriram recently spoke with Emily Rice 9News Australia about their instant #COVID19 sensor: bit.ly/3rFQh4g. Thank you so much to Emily & RMIT’s Gosia Kaszubska for all the hard work that went into producing this story.

Loved been part of SPARK Deakin collaborative event today around covid. Some great talks from Indonesia and Melbourne.
