Rapid diagnostics
Many diseases disrupt the balance in our blood coagulation system and result in life- threatening bleeding and clotting events. While there have been many new anticoagulant drugs, the lack of timely testing for these new drugs is a crucial limiting factor. This project is developing rapid, bedside blood diagnostics and drug monitoring capabilities to be read in less than 10 minutes.
