Dr Lim Li Sze

Medical Innovation Ventures Sdn Bhd

Six years ago, Dr Lim Li Sze had the idea of producing better diagnostics for infectious diseases in the tropical regions. The business strategy was two-pronged – to license technologies from universities and at the same time, develop in-house capability. She put together a team of people from different backgrounds to work together to develop innovative medical technologies to help mankind. That was how Medical Innovation Ventures Sdn Bhd, or in short Mediven, came about.

Mediven is an innovative diagnostics company based in Malaysia, developing the GenoAmp and ProDetect series of products. Mediven collaborates closely with research institutions locally and abroad to tap on research and scientific expertise to constantly come up with innovative products. Dr Lim’s vision for Mediven is to be an ASEAN leader in personalised diagnostics for infectious diseases. Despite facing some competition in the industry, Mediven has managed to be the leading supplier of tests for various infectious diseases in the local market to over 200 government hospitals and clinics to date.
