VALENCIA, SPAIN, Oct. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Zenosense, Inc. (OTCQB: ZENO, "Zenosense", the "Company"), a healthcare technology company focused on the development and commercialization of the MIDS Cardiac™ hand-held technology for the early detection of heart attack at the Point of Care, is pleased to announce that its MIDS Medical Ltd. joint venture (“JV", “MML") has expanded its technical team to support the next phase of development of MIDS Cardiac.
Following its recent funding agreement MML has arranged the services of three key contractors for its next phase of MIDS development. These contracting arrangements are designed to efficiently obtain services as and when required by MML.
The Magnetism Group at the University of Liverpool led by Dr Liam O'Brien, lecturer at the University of Liverpool and a member of the Condensed Matter Physics group and Materials Innovation Factory, will assist MML in the calibration and development of its medical diagnostic technologies. Dr O’Brien’s experience includes spatially-resolved Kerr effect microscopy, magnetic nanostructures, thin film magnetic materials, and spintronic devices and will be used to assist MML with microfluidic design in conjunction with its established technical design consultants. This is expected to include the computer simulation of microfluidic and magnetic bias field instigated flow of fluids and assay beads within the MIDS microfluidic strip prior to manufacture, and verification of built specification once manufactured.
Magnetism Group leader Dr O’Brien commented: “MIDS next generation technology offers exciting prospects in point-of-care diagnostics. We look forward to working with their team. This is an ideal opportunity to use our expertise in nanoscale magnetic materials characterisation to assist Dr Djennati and his team in the development of MML medical devices.”
MML has also arranged the services of two independent electronics engineers with a combined and complementary experience of over fifty years in the electronic disciplines demanded by the MIDS project. This includes embedded digital and analogue hardware and software design, multilayer PC design, immunoassay and magnetic particle experience, control systems and data acquisition.
