Overview

Despite
the development of point-of-care diagnostic tests for syphilis,

The
target audience for the target product profiles is broad and includes
clinicians, researchers working on diagnostics, laboratory experts,
including, microbiologists and virologists, public health experts,
epidemiologists, developers, and representatives for manufactures,
including biotech engineers, policy-and decision-makers as well as
