Company Overview
Astek Diagnostics is a precision diagnostics company developing a platform to provide rapid antibiotic sensitivity testing. Its flagship product, the Jiddu system, is a single-use cartridge designed to identify the appropriate antibiotic for bacterial infections, particularly Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), within one hour. This technology aims to reduce the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, combat antimicrobial resistance, and improve patient outcomes by enabling clinicians to prescribe effective treatments swiftly. The company, a spinout from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), was part of the Y Combinator accelerator and is planning a market launch for its product in 2025.
