Our group working in collaboration with industry researchers from SQI Diagnostics Inc., developed and successfully tested a new material to help detect critical but elusive markers of illness.
We have created a surface via innovative surface coating that repels every other element of human blood except the critical cytokine. The coating improves the ability of diagnostics sensors to detect and measure the presence of cytokines, proteins the body produces as part of its immune response, permitting more accurate measurement of infections, including COVID, and cancer.
