RE: Parasight Ltd.
Thank you Ehud!
We will follow up for sure.
I am sending this to Gene Walther who is leading diagnostics (including malaria diagnostics) at Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
I think that Gene is on business travel and vacation right now so it might be some delay.
Looking forward to learning more re this promising technology!
All the best
Boris

Dear Dr. Nikolic,
Parasight Ltd was founded
two years ago in Israel in
order to develop a platform
technology for blood
analysis and parasite
detection. During this time,
Parasight has focused on
developing an innovative
device for the accurate, rapid
and inexpensive diagnosis of
Malaria, suitable for POC
and labs in Malaria-endemic
countries as well as blood
banks everywhere. The
device is based on the latest
technologies in the field of
machine-vision together with
breakthrough advances in
sample preparation and
staining.
Following Mr. Barak's
communication with you, we
are proud to present the
official report describing the
results of our first clinical
trial, which was conducted
recently in India by the
National Institute of Malaria
Research. As the report
indicates, our clinical
accuracy is on par with PCR,
but with ease of use and cost
commensurate with
RDTs. Additionally, I am
attaching an executive
summary describing the
company. Our goal is
to introduce Parasight's
technology to the Gates
Foundation in hopes of
advancing the project and
reaching the target
population.
As it happens, our co-founder
and Chairman of the Scientific
Advisory Board, Dr. Daniel
Levner, is a Senior Staff
Scientist at Harvard Medical
School, so perhaps the best
way to present our technology
would be through a meeting.
Please let me know what
would be best for you.
Thanks,
Yossi Pollak

Will do my best.
I just had chance to review — there might be a small complexity as we have been funding a company to develop similar system!
Nevertheless I will do my best to help any way I can.
Hope to see you soon in NYC or Tel Aviv or Davos!

Hi Boris
PI do . Especially if Parasight is considerably ahead of the wave.
Will be glad to meet. I'm in NY on Sep 22-26 for the Clinton GI. Earlier in Sept in Bali and Nigeria. Just let me know what better works for you. Best

Great.
I will follow up. I sent it to our team and they are looking into it. A main guy is now at vacation.
I am also leaving today for Greece so it might be around Sept I.' that I hear back.
I will be in NYC that whole week and I look forward to seeing you and catching up — most likely at Jeffrey's — it is more interesting there than at CGI ;)
All the best
Boris
