Affordable technologies for point-of-care diagnostics
Affordable, point-of-care diagnostics are needed for disease monitoring in low- resource settings (LRS). Gold-standard laboratory tests require expensive benchtop equipment, which limits their widespread use. In this work, I developed low-cost technologies for the transduction of two independent …

Pump-free magnetophoresis for improved point-of-care diagnostics
Infectious diseases are one of the largest health burdens for low-income countries and claim millions of lives every year. The loss of life in low-income countries is largely due to the lack of access to preventative healthcare and appropriate diagnostic testing. Several health agencies have …
