A new way to detect the SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant in wastewater July 28, 2021MIT Researchers from the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) interdisciplinary research group at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, alongside collaborators from Biobot Analytics, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and MIT, have successfully developed an innovative, open-source molecular detection method that is able to detect and quantify the B.1.1.7 (Alpha) variant of SARS-CoV-2. The breakthrough paves the way for rapid, inexpensive surveillance o...

SMART researchers develop a method for rapid, accurate virus detection July 7, 2021MIT Researchers from Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine (CAMP), an interdisciplinary research group at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, have developed a new method for rapid and accurate detection of viral nucleic acids — a breakthrough that can be easily adapted to detect different DNA/RNA targets in viruses like the coronavirus. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of rapid diagnostics and improved method...

SMART researchers conducted a case study in Tampines, Singapore, to find out if autonomous mobility on demand can co-exist with or threatens the public transit system.
