About D-NOME
Building the molecular diagnostics infrastructure the field has been missing.
Founded at the intersection of deep-tech diagnostics and applied biotechnology, D-NOME exists to move disease detection out of centralised labs and into the hands of the people who need answers fastest.
Our Mission
Revolutionising traditional testing systems.
Conventional diagnostics depend on centralised labs, trained personnel, cold chains and days of turnaround. For a shrimp farmer watching a pond crash, a clinician in a remote health centre, or a poultry unit racing an outbreak, that delay is the difference between containment and loss.
D-NOME builds point-of-care diagnostic devices and assays that compress that timeline to minutes, without compromising the accuracy of laboratory-grade PCR. We call it making molecular tools accessible.

Brief History
D-NOME's Journey
First lab opened at AIC-CCMB, TRL 1-3
Opened our first lab at AIC-CCMB and began early-stage validation of the D-ISO NAAT platform technology (TRL 1-3), supported by initial grants including BIRAC/DBT and e-TI.
TRL-4 validation & ICAR-CIBA partnership
Completed TRL-4 validation of the D-ISO NAAT platform technology and formed a long-term partnership with ICAR-CIBA for field validations.
ICAR-CIBA validation report & first commercial pilot
Received the technology validation report from ICAR-CIBA; closed seed funding including the Vitalik-Balvi International Grant; completed our first commercial pilot and began expanding the product portfolio.
Paid pilots & portfolio expansion
Completed paid pilots worth ₹60 lacs; expanded the product portfolio and continued scaling commercial activity.
Product launch & global recognition
Launched Shrimp Saathi DX Kits in collaboration with ICAR-Fisheries/CIBA; named a Global Challenge winner; awarded the GAMRIF-AMR 2025 grant; moving towards scale-up across aquaculture and clinical markets.
Recognition & Partners
Backed by India's research ecosystem & global innovation networks.
