Fuse was established in 2022 by the founders of Sense Biodetection Ltd. Under their leadership Sense raised c.$80m in investment and delivered the world’s first rapid instrument-free, molecular diagnostic test (Veros COVID-19). Sense was subsequently acquired by Sherlock Biosciences Inc.

Recognising that the first generation of molecular instrument-free product platforms do not meet the broader market requirements for point-of-need testing and that molecular technologies are only part of the puzzle, Fuse is leveraging its founders’ extensive experience and knowledge to develop a truly revolutionary new generation of multianalytic diagnostic products.
