The gonococcal detection method developed by Dr. Maeda exhibited at BioJAPAN 2019

The gonococcal detection method developed by Dr. Takuya Maeda of the Department of Microbiology will be exhibited at BioJapan 2019.

We have already received inquiries about commercialization from several companies.

If more companies are interested in this exhibition, we believe we can contribute greatly to the diagnosis of gonorrhea.
