Avian flu threatens global health and agriculture, with pandemic potential☣️ if it spreads between humans😷. To enable surveillance, we developed 3 CRISPR-based assays for rapid subtype- and clade-specific detection of avian influenza in low-resource settings.⬇️ (1/11)

Streamlined CRISPR-based assays for detection and subtyping of avian influenza
Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are zoonotic pathogens that pose an increasing global threat due to their potential for human-to-human transmission, pandemic emergence and significant economic losses i...

Multiplexed nucleic acid detection is critical for the surveillance of pathogens and mutations, but existing technologies either require extensive lab equipment or have low multiplexing. We built a portable microfluidic manifold for massively multiplexed CRISPR-based detection. (1/12)
A handheld microfluidic manifold for massively multiplexed CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection
Multiplexed methods for nucleic acid detection are immensely challenging to deploy outside of laboratory settings. Conversely, field-deployable methods are limited to low levels of multiplexing. Durin...
