About

At Nextfuge, we’re revolutionizing diagnostics with high-speed, portable microfluidic centrifugation systems designed for the point of care. Our mission is simple: make life-saving diagnostics accessible anytime, anywhere. Born from interdisciplinary innovation in biomedical engineering, our technology condenses the power of a full laboratory centrifuge into a handheld platform—accelerating results, reducing costs, and empowering clinicians in both remote and urban settings. Whether responding to outbreaks, conducting field research, or delivering care in under-resourced clinics, Nextfuge ensures that critical diagnostic capabilities are always within reach. The NEXTfuge team brings together a passionate group of engineers, scientists, and innovators with backgrounds in biomedical engineering, mechanical design, and global health. We are UC Davis students, researchers, and entrepreneurs united by a mission to make diagnostics more equitable and efficient. The Future of Healthcare, Everywhere. Contant: Nextfuge@gmail.com
