Planned activity

This project aims to enable identification of new pathogens and could significantly contribute to development of rapid, low-cost, and flexible diagnostic approaches for detecting and tracking the spread of pathogens. The project also aims to extend the test to additional clinical and environmental sample types.

Awarded in 2023, this project is still in progress.
