Microbiology/Immunology
Precision Bacterial Gene Control System
Producing proteins in the lab is a key part of developing new drugs, enzymes, and industrial materials. But many systems used to grow these proteins are inefficient and don’t allow much control over how much of the protein is made. This team has…

Advanced Lipid-Based SARS-CoV-2 Detection
Most COVID-19 tests detect the virus only after it has had time to grow in the body, which can delay isolation and treatment. Current tools may also miss early signs of infection. This team has developed a blood test that can spot the virus right…

PEP-TORCH for Identifying Mycobacterial Species
When someone has a mycobacterial infection, such as tuberculosis, it can be difficult and time-consuming for doctors to identify exactly which type of bacteria is causing the illness. Many existing tests are either too general or take a long time to…
