INFECTIOUS DISEASES Diagnostics

Nearly every global health priority depends on equitable access to quick, accurate diagnostics for infectious diseases. Our faculty are on the cutting edge in the development of a variety of tools and technologies to improve diagnostic testing, especially those designed to be effective and affordable in underserved or resource-limited settings.
