One such tenant, ImmunoServ, has been making headlines for their cutting-edge work in immune testing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">This year, ImmunoServ received one of Wales\u2019 highest honours \u2013 the St David Award for Innovation, Science and Technology, recognising their significant contribution to improving our understanding of immune responses to infection and vaccination. The award celebrates the company\u2019s rapid development of T cell testing services during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as their continued innovation in tackling global health challenges \u2013 from seasonal and avian flu to multiple sclerosis and cancer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Building on this success, ImmunoServ has now launched the Immuno-T\u2122 Laboratory Test Kit \u2013 a product that allows laboratories worldwide to measure T cell responses in a simple, standardised way. By offering insight into long-term immunity, the kit provides vital data for public health efforts and vaccine evaluation. It has already seen international uptake, including in The Gambia, and is helping to broaden access to advanced immunological testing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin: 8px 8px 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/medicentre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/675\/2025\/06\/Test-kit-held-by-gloved-hands.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">This breakthrough has been supported by the Cardiff Capital Region\u2019s Academic\u2013Industry Partnership, which helps bring together the expertise, funding, and infrastructure needed to move technology from research to real-world use. The kit includes all the components needed for laboratory-based T cell testing \u2013 including ready-to-use reagents, validated protocols, and clear to interpret guidelines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Founded by Cardiff University researchers Dr Martin Scurr and Professor Andrew Godkin, ImmunoServ are a Cardiff Medicentre tenant on a mission to bring advanced immunology into everyday clinical and research settings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>As James Hindley, CEO of Cardiff Medicentre, explains:<\/strong><br data-start=\"392\" data-end=\"395\" \/><em>\u201cThrough our time at Cardiff Medicentre so far, we have built incredible links to researchers and clinicians within the Heath Hospital and Cardiff University, which has improved both the quality and speed of our R&amp;D.
