InfectoGnostics
Breaking New Ground in Diagnostics of Infections
As a public-private partnership, the InfectoGnostics Research Campus Jena is breaking new ground in the diagnosis of infections. More than 30 partners from science, medicine and industry are working together to develop innovative solutions for the rapid and cost-effective on-site diagnosis of infectious diseases. As an Thuringian innovation cluster, InfectoGnostics is deeply rooted in Thuringia's innovation landscape and is also well connected with other clusters, commercial enterprises, research institutions, clinics and other stakeholders both nationally and internationally.

Projects
-
NEXD
Nanoreactor-bead extraction of cfDNA for hypothesis-free pathogen diagnostics
Find out more about NEXD.
-
AutOoC
Automated Organ-on-Chip platform for infection research
AutOoC develops an automated Organ-on-Chip (OoC) platform to model bacterial lung infections and test antibiotic and nanoparticle-based therapies. Automated liquid handling enables standardized high-throughput generation of OoC models. By replicating human tissue structures, the system allows more predictive assessment of drug efficacy and accelerates the identification of effective treatments for persistent infections such as Staphylococcus aureus.

CDI-NORO-POC
Molecular point-of-care diagnostics for Clostridioides difficile and noroviruses
This project develops a rapid molecular test for detecting Clostridioides difficile and noroviruses in nursing homes. The LAMP-based assay allows care staff to perform on-site testing, ensuring faster hygiene and containment measures. Using the portable eazyPlus device, stool samples are analyzed directly without lab processing. After laboratory validation, a field study will assess usability and accuracy for long-term implementation in healthcare settings.
