About Sophia Shanko | CEO & Founder, ShanX Medtech
As technology changes our world, I am enthusiastic about my contribution to an innovative healthcare. Most specifically, I am interested in the decentralization of diagnostic tests to a near patient setting. I believe that in this way, fast, evidence-based, and personalized healthcare can be assured. A way to achieve this, is through ShanX Medtech. ShanX Medtech is a young company developing novel antibiotic efficiency testing devices to enable fast and evidence-based antibiotic care tailored to each patient’s needs. A technologist by training but impact-driven at heart. BSc in Control Systems/Electrical Engineering, MSc in Semiconductors, PhD in diagnostic devices (Mechanical Engineering). FD Top50 Young Talent ’23, NAF New York Best Impact Entrepreneur ’22, InspiringFifty Deep Tech Benelux+ ’21, Hello Tomorrow Deep Tech Pioneer ’21.
About ShanX Medtech
ShanX Medtech is a startup located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Our team is broad and covers not only deep scientific knowledge but also seasoned entrepreneurs.
Since Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928, the use of antibiotics has saved countless lives worldwide. However, the excessive and incorrect use of these same antibiotics has led to a worldwide health hazard.
It is precisely through the use of antibiotics that more and more resistant bacteria occur, which are therefore insensitive (or resistant) to certain antibiotics. Fighting infections caused by these resistant bacteria is therefore much more difficult because the usual antibiotics no longer work.
To counter this growing problem, it is of the utmost importance that antibiotics are handled correctly both worldwide and in the Netherlands. By this we mean not only the correct use of antibiotics by the patient, but also the correct prescription of antibiotics by the doctor.
