Environmental RNA Detection

Sep 12, 2020

In collaboration with the Molecular Information Systems Lab (MISL), the Synthetic Biology Lab, and Microsoft, I am investigating new ways to detect viral presence in urban infrastructure.

This project is supported by the Microsoft Pandemic Preparedness Grant and the UW Population Health Economic Recovery Research Grants. Thanks for the support!

More details to come - stay tuned!
