Our Vision is for global, large scale screening to eradicate and therefore finally eliminate infectious diseases, including malaria.
We have developed a non-invasive saliva-based test which we hope to bring to the global marketplace. The device looks to accurately detect asymptomatic infection and disease.
At ERADA we want to be the diagnostic technology of choice in detecting and monitoring infection, while supporting vaccination programs and development.
ERADA was founded by Dr Benji Pretorius and Dr Richard Schmidt. They recognised the need for drastic, new innovation in the fight against malaria.
Dr Benji Pretorius wanted to marry science with a socially ethical business. Our aim is to eradicate malaria, and other infectious diseases. Through our drive and vision, we passionately believe that we are in a stronger position than ever to achieve our ultimate goal.
