The Immune Decoder: Cracking the Code of Long COVID

from Med Tech Gurus · host Tom Hickey

What if we could finally put real answers behind the brain fog, fatigue, and lingering symptoms so many patients still face post-COVID? In this episode, Dr. Nigel McCracken, Chief Operating Officer at Virax Biolabs, returns to Med Tech Gurus to reveal how their groundbreaking ViraxImmune platform is decoding the hidden dysfunctions of the immune system. With major NHS-led trials underway and U.S. clinical sites ramping up, Nigel shares how their proprietary FluoroSpot T-cell assay brings unprecedented accuracy to diagnosing long COVID, chronic fatigue, and post-viral syndromes. We also dive into the operational challenges of global trials, lessons from diagnostics commercialization, and how to build innovation-ready teams that scale. Gurus, this is diagnostic disruption at its best.
