Our group worked in collaboration with industry researchers from SQI Diagnostics Inc. to develop and successfully test a new material to help detect critical but elusive markers of illness.
We have created an 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.
