Efforts on SARS-CoV-2 sensors and sensor systems for pathogen monitoring at Sun’s Lab won the Trinity Challenge Award!
(https://thetrinitychallenge.org/) What if we could detect outbreaks before they spiraled out of control to cost lives and livelihoods? A wireless sensor network, with patented sensor technologies, offers a surveillance solution that detects pathogens in air and water up to one week before cases are present in humans. This low-cost, game-changing system can be deployed in… Continue Reading →
