Background
Accunome Sciences Inc. is a Series B Biotech startup that has raised $15.5M. Their flagship product, the DXcellence12, is a fully automated, sample-to-answer workflow molecular diagnostics machine that is capable of diagnosing multiple samples for different bacteria and viruses simultaneously, which reduces the time it takes for the patient to get the diagnosis from 8 hours to 1.5 hours.
What I did: Automation & Hardware Optimization
- Optimized mechanical systems for an automated molecular diagnostics machine, the Dxcellence12.
- Performed detailed design analyses to identify and resolve structural deficiencies contributing to contamination issues within two automation modules.
- Conducted coordinated experiments and testing to optimize thermal cycling efficiency.
- Calibrated and utilized machine learning programs to train central modules for DXcellence12 machines.
