MDx Impact Grants (2026-2027)
Ends on
The MDx Impact Grants aim to unlock the potential of PCR to democratise access to accurate diagnostic tests that improve patient outcomes.
We invite research groups to work with us and our partner Seegene to develop tests that address unmet clinical needs. The programme provides researchers with access to Seegene’s syndromic PCR technology and development grants of up to 600,000 USD to perform clinical studies.
Each research group is permitted to submit only one application focused on the designated project. We welcome applications from eligible research groups from around the world.
2026 Scope: Neurodegenerative Disease Diagnostics with a Focus on Alzheimer's Disease
This year, the MDx Impact Grants focus on Alzheimer's disease (AD), inviting researchers to propose how Seegene's high-multiplex PCR platform could be applied to the detection and characterization of molecular markers associated with neurodegenerative disease, with a specific focus on Alzheimer's disease and, where feasible, disease staging and progression assessment.
