Dr. Sonia Trigueros Nanotechnology and AI in Early Diagnostics Stories in Life Sciences

from Stories in Life Sciences · host Christopher Wilson

"You always realize you are already late. By the time that you apply the therapy, it's too late."What if early diagnostics became the new standard of care? In this episode of Stories in Life Sciences by MedAxis AI, Christopher Wilson sits down with Dr. Sonia Trigueros, Founder of NIVD and former Co-Director of the Nanotechnology Program at Oxford, to explore how nanotechnology, quantum materials, and AI are opening an entirely new frontier in healthcare.Dr. Trigueros is working to detect sepsis, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infections before a single symptom appears, using diagnostic tools that require no electricity and can reach underserved communities globally. Her work sits at the intersection of physics, biology, medicine, and commercialization, and her vision is to make ultra-early detection accessible at the point of care worldwide.In this episode of Stories in Life Sciences, we cover:How nanotechnology and quantum materials enable ultra-early disease detectionWhy early diagnosis is the missing link in effective therapies for cancer and sepsisHow AI can correlate clinical, molecular, and unknown datasets to reveal hidden biological relationshipsNIVD's vision for electricity-free, point-of-care diagnostics in underserved communitiesDr. Trigueros' journey from Oxford nanotechnology research to founding NIVDBuilding a multidisciplinary team across physics, biology, medicine, and commercializationThe future of accessible diagnostics and global health equityWho this is for: founders, clinicians, researchers, and investors in diagnostics, nanotechnology, AI in healthcare, global health, and life sciences who want to understand where early detection technology is headed.Guest: Dr. Sonia Trigueros, Founder and Director, NIVDwww.nivd.world https://www.linkedin.com/company/nivdworldHost:Christopher Wilson, Founder, MedAxis AI www.medaxisai.orghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-wilson-medaxisai https://www.linkedin.com/company/medaxisaiFollow Stories in Life Sciences on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube for new episodes.
