Science, explained clearly
Diagnostic technology explainers, disease articles, AMR education and laboratory medicine resources — written for clinicians, evidence-based and honest about limitations.
Tuberculosis diagnostics: from smear to sequencing
Smear microscopy, GeneXpert, LPA, MGIT culture, DST and WGS — what each TB test answers, and where each fits in the algorithm.
AMR educationDrug Susceptibility Testing: methods and meaning
Broth dilution, agar dilution, disk diffusion, E-test and molecular methods — how laboratories decide which antibiotics will work.
Laboratory medicineInfectious Serology: antibodies, antigens and the window period
What serology can and cannot tell you: IgM vs IgG, antigen vs antibody, cross-reactivity, and how serology complements PCR.
Diagnostic technologyGenome Sequencing in Infectious Diseases: NGS, Oxford Nanopore and WGS
How next-generation and nanopore sequencing characterise pathogens, predict resistance and investigate outbreaks.
Diagnostic technologyUnderstanding PCR, qPCR and RT-PCR
The polymerase chain reaction explained: the three-temperature cycle, real-time quantification, and how RNA viruses are detected.
Diagnostic technologySyndromic Multiplex Panels: a new way to approach infectious-disease diagnosis
How syndromic multiplex PCR detects multiple pathogens from one sample, and why it changes the first hours of patient care.
