NIH grant funds Emory work on indoor air sensor for SARS-CoV-2
Tags » Emory University received a National Institutes of Health grant, for a total of $883,000 over two years, to develop a sensor capable of detecting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in the air of indoor spaces. The grant is part of the NIH RADx Radical initiative, which aims to support new, non-traditional approaches for rapid detection devices that address current gaps in testing for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, as well as potential future pandemic viruses. “Our goal is to create a fully automated electronic sensor that continually measures for the presence of SARS-CoV-2...
