Our Approach
Accessibility and Affordability
The ADJUST Center has a two-pronged approach to successfully accelerating diagnostic development and ensuring health equity and justice: our Thinktank and Technology Foundry, both putting increased accessibility and affordability at the top of everything we do.
Working alongside our partners at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Georgia Institute of Technology, we understand every project has different needs. Contact us today, and we will help you and your team move along.
Thinktank
Interdisciplinary teams focus on the advancement of future disease diagnosis through research and advocacy in the following ways:
Generation of research papers, policy & position papers, and technology targets for Technology Foundry assay development projects
Creating community projects to ensure diagnostic social justice and health equity (e.g., Establishing community-based telemedicine resources to help underserved communities.)
Diverse partners and stakeholders including clinical researchers, diagnostics developers, data scientists, public health experts, health equity experts, patient groups, Atlanta/Georgia patient communities, and human factors/design experts.
Providing in-kind diagnostic-related services for faculty
