  • We are thrilled to welcome Neil Verdal-Austin to Microbio as our new Chief Operations Officer! Neil brings a wealth of experience, starting with his BCom and GDA from the University of Cape Town (UCT) and qualification as a CA(SA). His career journey began at Orthomedics in Cape Town, where he rose from Financial Manager to CFO and equity partner. In 2006, Neil moved to Sydney, joining SomnoMed, an obstructive sleep apnea company. Over 15 years, he was instrumental in globalizing the business, growing its reach from 3 countries to 28—a remarkable achievement showcasing his operational and strategic expertise. Neil is passionate about gender equality and embraces life’s joys, including time at the beach and travel but still misses the beauty of the African bush.

    Recently, our Microbio team, Field Application Scientist Judith Lucke and Medical Science Liaison Katie Shepherd joined our Portuguese distributor Iberlab - soluções para laboratórios, lda and their customer, Dr. Sandra Rebelo at Centro Hospitalar Universitário de São João. Together with Dr Rebelo’s fantastic team, they supported the hospital's first run of the InfectID™-BSI assay. The team identified pathogens in three sepsis patients, providing potentially life-saving insights for their ongoing care. One of the results was later confirmed by a sputum sample, aligning with the InfectID™-BSI findings—nine days after the assay had delivered its result. The significance of this finding underscores the power of InfectID™-BSI in improving sepsis outcomes. This marks the beginning of an exciting collaboration with a team equally committed to advancing patient care through faster, targeted pathogen identification allowing to drastically speed up targeted treatment. Dr. Sandra Rebelo shared, "Big things start small, and we expect to give bigger steps towards a solution that would improve the clinical approach for our patients. No man is an island, so teamwork is absolutely precious in addressing clinical issues. All together for the same purpose". #SepsisAwareness #RapidDiagnostics #InfectIDBSI #MicrobioCollaboration João Pedro Carvalho Teixeira

    We’re proud to welcome Paul Perreault former CEO of CSL and a global biotech leader, as our new strategic advisor. With over 40 years in healthcare and a track record of driving innovation, Paul’s expertise will be instrumental as we bring InfectID™-BSI to more clinicians worldwide. The InfectID™-BSI diagnostic test delivers actionable intelligence to clinicians, enabling them to deliver targeted antimicrobial treatment – improving patient outcomes and reducing the emergence of antimicrobial resistant organisms. The assay detects 26 pathogens associated with more than 94% of sepsis cases in less than 3 hours. Stay tuned as we continue our mission to redefine sepsis care globally. 🌍 #Sepsis #HealthcareInnovation #PathogenDetection

  • When the Standard of Care cannot identify fastidious or suppressed pathogens, timely and targeted treatment is delayed. InfectID™-BSI changes that, delivering rapid and reliable pathogen identification in less than three hours. 🔍 Why it matters: - Improves accuracy for patients with prior antimicrobial therapy. - Enhances detection of hard-to-culture pathogens. Learn more about how InfectID™-BSI is addressing these challenges: https://hubs.li/Q02-67hc0 #Diagnostics #Sepsis #InfectiousDiseases #PathogenIdentification
