Develop point-of-care microfluidic approaches to detect multiple dengue or sepsis biomarkers (nucleic acids, cells, and proteins) from the same sample of whole blood.
POC testing of these dengue and sepsis biomarkers could accelerate the clinical decision for early detection of dengue and sepsis, respectively. Importantly, the project plans to demonstrate approaches as global health solutions to make our technologies achievable to historically underserved populations in Vietnam and other low-income countries by reducing the existing gaps of required infrastructure and high cost.
