Aptitude Medical Systems, a Goleta, CA-based multiple conditions testing solutions company, raised $10M+ from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The foundation’s grant support will fund clinical validation studies in the US and Africa and further optimization of manufacturing processes to ensure affordable access in low- and middle-income countries.
Led by CEO Scott Ferguson, Aptitude is accelerating the development and release of its new Point of Care (POC) and Over-The-Counter (OTC) Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis sexually transmitted infection (STI) test on the Metrix® molecular diagnostics platform.
