Electronics Engineer

Company overview
QuantuMDx Group is one of the most exciting life sciences tools and technology companies to emerge from
the UK in recent years. Due for commercialisation in 2018, their signature device Q-POC™ is a low-cost,
simple-to-use, handheld diagnostic device for 10 – 20 minute diagnosis at the patient’s side. The robust
device will identify the presence and strain of an infection, ensuring the right drug is prescribed first time,
facilitating a more intelligent use of antibiotics. Further to this, globally distributed Q-POC™ devices will
geotag and anonymise pathogen data, sending it to the cloud for real-time disease and drug resistance
monitoring, and rapid detection and containment of pathogens.

Q-POC™ is ideally suited to help address the humanitarian health burden by offering gold-standard
molecular diagnostics at a fraction of the price of traditional testing. Once the device has passed regulatory
approval it will be available for highly multiplexed diagnostic and drug susceptibility testing for just a few
dollars, in any setting globally.
