Episode 36: Date rape drug detection.
Welcome to episode 36 of SonaCast. Undercover Colors made headlines a few years ago for its idea to detect date rape drugs in alcohol using coloured nail varnish. Today that idea has transformed into SipChip, a lateral flow-based device that can detect beverages spiked with drugs (commonly called ‘roofies’) in 30 seconds. In this episode we speak to Undercover Colors’ Director of R&D Dr Nick Letourneau about SipChip and his company’s fight against drug-facilitated sexual assault.

Episode 15: Rare disease diagnostics. Welcome to episode 15 of SonaCast. This week our guest is Adam Griffiths, Conference Director of the Rare Disease Diagnostics Summit being held in Boston MA this September. Startistics show that more than 350 million people globally are living with a rare disease. On average it takes seven different consultations before an initial referral to a clinical geneticist and a minimum of five years to completely diagnose a patient, with 70-90% of cases going undiagnosed. We talk to Adam about rare diseases and how to alleviate the diagnostic burden for patients.
