Medical device player nominated for best tech start-up in local business awards
A medical device firm has been nominated in the Hammersmith and Fulham Brilliant Business Awards in the Best Tech Start-Up category.
MediSieve were put forward by Upstream, a joint venture between Imperial College and Hammersmith & Fulham Council with the winner set to be announced at Hammersmith’s Grand Assembly Hall on 7th November.
The company has produced a magnetic blood filtration system which aims to selectively remove disease-causing agents from the blood, meaning their technology can be used to treat diseases such as leukaemia, malaria and sepsis.
Dr George Frodsham, CEO of MediSieve, said: "Clearly we are thrilled to have made the shortlist in these sought-after awards, and the whole team will be attending the ceremony.
"We know that the expert judging panel has looked at high-quality entries from more businesses than ever before, which makes being a finalist even more special. Even if we don't win on the night, we're genuinely thrilled to have got this far."
MediSieve was established in 2015, as an independent company, having spun off from University College London.
