About

Bioeureka revolutionizes microbiology with advanced AI-powered image recognition technology for rapid pathogen identification. Our solution is fast, cost-effective, and field-deployable, making it ideal for laboratories, healthcare facilities, and research institutions. By leveraging artificial intelligence, Bioeureka enables the immediate and accurate identification of bacteria, viruses, and fungi using a smartphone or computer interface.

Our mission is to make healthcare safer and more efficient by providing innovative tools that streamline the pathogen testing process, reduce costs, and increase testing capacity.

Bioeureka reduces the reliance on expensive biochemical tests and shortens the time required for incubation, leading to quicker and more efficient pathogen detection. 

History

Making history in the identification of microbial pathogens

Bioeureka was founded in March 2022 in Montreal by visionary biochemist and serial entrepreneur Mohamed M. Diallo. With a wealth of laboratory experience in Quebec and Ontario, Mohamed and his team recognized the requirement for faster, more affordable microbiological analysis solutions.

After identifying the critical needs in early 2021, Bioeureka set out to develop an AI-based pathogen recognition solution for laboratories.

The company has since participated in various support programs, including Cilex in Gatineau and Centech in Montreal, and has received the support of institutions including the University of Ottawa, Collège La Cité, MILA research institute, as well as Sicara, a company based in France.

In December 2022, Bioeureka was selected among 12 high-potential companies to join the Centech Propulsion program. The first functional prototype was launched in early 2023, aiming to secure funding from investors to accelerate growth.

Bioeureka officially launched its app in April 2023, targeting university students and researchers as its initial market. Today, Bioeureka continues to innovate and grow, with the aim of becoming the standard tool for microbiology laboratories worldwide, including in developing countries and remote areas.

Bioeureka’s short history is marked by its commitment to innovation, integrity, collaboration, adaptability and involvement. These values reflect the spirit and culture of the Bioeureka team, which strives to make a significant impact in the fields of microbiology and molecular biology.

Mission
