New Chemiluminescent Protease Probe for Rapid, Sensitive, and Inexpensive Detection of Live Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a top-ten cause of death worldwide. Successful treatment is often limited by insufficient diagnostic capabilities, especially at the point of care in low-resource settings. The ideal diagnostic must be fast, be cheap, and require minimal clinical resources while providing high sensitivity, selectivity, and the ability to differentiate live from dead bacteria.OUR SOLUTION• We […] Read More >
Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies to Combat Multidrug-Resistant Pathogenic Bacteria
It is predicted that a failure to address the problem of antibiotic-resistant pathogens will result in the death of 10 million people annually, costing the economy more than 100 trillion dollars by the year 2050. In high-income countries where antibiotics are heavily used in the community and agriculture, the strong selection pressure and non-completed antibiotic […] Read More >
Automated Processing Of Non-Invasive Thermal Imaging Of Organ-Specific Diseases To Detect Inflammation And Vascular Dysfunction
During the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, rapid and sensitive screening tools for SARS-CoV2 infection were defined critical for limiting the spread of COVID-19 and for allocating national resources properly. Researchers have developed and tested a new point-of-care, non-contact, thermal camera that connects directly to smartphones combined with image-processing algorithms, and machine learning-based analysis, to detect inflammation […] Read More >
Epitope Based Vaccines for Flaviviruses
Flaviviridae are a family of positive, single-stranded enveloped RNA viruses that are typically transmitted to humans via mosquitoes and ticks. Yellow Fever virus, West Nile virus and Dengue virus are examples of human Flavivirus pathogens. Dengue virus has 4 serotypes, and getting infected by one serotype, does not protect against the other three. Moreover, pre-infection […] Read More >
Anti-Influenza a Virus Drug Discovery
Influenza A virus infection is one of the most common respiratory tract diseases in humans. It is the cause of typical seasonal flu as well as major human pandemics worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2023, around 3 to 5 million severe influenza cases were recorded, leading to 290,000 to 650,000 […] Read More >
