System to Rapidly Screen and Detect Small Molecules
The analysis of small-molecule metabolites and drugs in body fluids and tissue extracts plays a vital role in human health, food safety and environmental monitoring. The current gold standard for small molecule detection is mass spectrometry, which is expensive, time consuming, and requires trained personnel. Universal point-of-care (POC) testing would...

Platform for High-Throughput Quantification of Neutralizing Antibodies
­In the past 10 years, there have been many new viral pathogens which have emerged as major public health threats, including Ebola virus, SARS-CoV, Zika virus and most recently SARS-CoV-2. Quantitative measurement of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) is important for determining sterilizing immunity as well as evaluating effectiveness of vaccines and...

Simple, Portable, Low-cost, Viral Antigen Detection Method
­Recent infectious diseases, such as SARS-CoV-2, have caused massive and widespread global health and economic problems. One of the most effective tools in the early stages of a disease outbreak is testing and isolation of the infected. However, it takes time to develop a new diagnostic, particularly with novel pathogens. By the time a new test...

Low-cost and Simple Ebola Virus Test
­Ebola virus (EBOV) is a highly virulent pathogen, causing severe hemorrhagic fever in humans with a lethality rate of 45-90%. With such high lethality rates, it is imperative that EBOV is detected early and infected patients are isolated to reduce transmission and control outbreaks. While PCR is the gold standard for EBOV detection, it requires...
