We welcomed the Minister of Health of Iceland
We were humbled to host the Minister of Health of Iceland, Willum Þór Þórsson, at MultiplexDX. Iceland is a true inspiration for us in many ways. How they fought the coronavirus pandemic was phenomenal. Iceland’s Directorate of Health, the government agency that oversees healthcare services, worked hand-in-hand with the private sector, sharing ideas, data, laboratory space, and staff. This robust cooperation allowed Iceland to track the position of the virus and identify practically its every move. The teams even tracked the health of every person who tested positive. What a great story for how Iceland used science and public-private partnerships to combat the pandemic
The Minister of Health took a tour through our labs, from where we developed our Covid-19 tests to where we visualize and sequence tumor tissues for our breast cancer diagnostic test called Multiplex8+. We enjoyed this unique opportunity to discuss our EIC Accelerator cancer research and the importance of cross-sector cooperation.
