<About awarded research>

The research presented at this conference relates to the creation of a system capable of the rapid and sensitive capture of a desired antigen. More specifically, an electrospun polymeric fiber mesh platform was fabricated and utilized in combination with a vacuum pump system.

This work is aimed to be implemented into a point of care microchip type device for rapid and sensitive bedside detection of a desired disease or analyte. I believe this work has the potential to influence the commercial production of rapid detection devices that can aid physicians in delivering immediate care to patients in need.
