The human body consists of approximately 100 trillion cells all communicating with each other by tranmittting various analytes. Silicon BioDevices has developed the next generation point-of-care testing (POCT) technology: a small disposable device with integrated display that measures multiple analytes directly from a finger stick of blood and instantly transfers the results to a mobile device or wireless server accessed electronic medical record (EMR) system. This breakthrough innovation will help integrate in vitro diagnostic test information into patient care workflow and allow many more blood tests to be performed in non-medical settings. This disruptive approach raises the bar on body fluid testing at the point of specimen collection by delivering performance equal to the clinical laboratory. This technology will put the information in your fingertips, at your fingertips.

Dr. Octavian Florescu, PhD, is the inventor of the CMOS biosensor technology at the core of the Silicon BioDevices platform. He has over 10 years of experience in the semiconductor/IT space working with DEC, GE, Nokia, Quake Technologies and Qualcomm, where he developed control systems for nuclear reactors, software for network management, high speed digital blocks for 10Gb/s and 40Gb/s Ethernet, baseband PLLs for digital timing and RF front-ends for cellular communication. He received his B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada in 2004, and his PhD in Electrical Engineering from UC Berkeley (Boser lab), with a minor in Molecular and Cell Biology in 2010. Outside of IC design and biotechnology research, his interests include economics, surfing and downhill skiing.
