Funded Activity Summary
Rapid Pathogen Detection using Super-Sensitive Multiplexing Nanophotonic Probes. Responding to an urgent need to advance rapid molecular diagnostics, this project aims to explore new photonics and biochemistry approaches to DNA recognition. It is anchored on proprietary light-emitting nanodots which have single-molecule sensitivity in conjunction with tunable optical identities. The project aims to develop a multiplexing reagent library of DNA probes to sense trace DNA molecules and to recognise multiple pathogens in a single assay. This innovation aims to create a hybrid-Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology platform for current industry-standard pathogen detection tests. The outcomes of the project aim to enable DNA based pathogen diagnostics within 90 minutes, four times faster than the current tests.Funded Activity Details
