What we do
Stellar Diagnostics India Private Ltd, is an early stage medical diagnostics company developing a rapid point-of-care tuberculosis test that meets performance standards around the world. The goal of TB Biosciences is to replace the current 125 year old sputum test with a simple to operate and use rapid Tuberculosis test.
The Company is developing serological based TB diagnostic test using highly immunogenic peptides of known proteins of Tb bacteria which illicit antibody response at all active stages of its growth spectrum.
