CADDA

Welcome to the Centre for Advanced Diagnostic Development and Application (CADDA) — a national programme set to drive innovation in human and animal diagnostics – led by the University of Kent in partnership with The University of Manchester and University College London (UCL). CADDA is a strategic programme with funding  support from Research England.

CADDA will fulfil an unmet need for coordinated diagnostics development in England/UK, driving the transition of diagnostics technology, business development and data analysis from academic partners into SME’s and on to application.

Across England/UK CADDA will run a series of events, from conferences, to workshops and informal cafes, designed to deliver a collective purpose, support collaboration and foster outcomes for an integrated approach to human and animal diagnostics development.

We will share progress toward our exemplar projects developing responses to specific unmet needs for human and animal diagnostics.
