Purdue University researchers have developed a device for more conveniently detecting pathogens in health care settings, on ...

Infection with the pathogenic yeast fungus Candida auris (C. auris) can wreak havoc on the health of hospital patients and ...

A device capable of conveniently detecting pathogens in healthcare, food production and agricultural environments has been ...

When you think of electric fields, you likely think of electricity — the stuff that makes modern life possible by powering everything from household appliances to cellphones. Researchers have been ...

The Myhrvold lab develops CRISPR-based technologies for studying RNA. Our primary interest is RNAs involved in host-pathogen interactions. We use a variety of RNA viruses and other pathogens as model ...

Washington State University researchers are leading a national effort to improve early detection of potato pathogens. Part of the project would involve establishing a national testing laboratory to ...

Infectious disease poses a threat to human health and is becoming more dangerous with increasing urbanization, population growth, and climate change. Fortunately, genomic sequencing technologies have ...

Researchers have developed an open-source reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay that is lyophilized for heat stability and uses non-proprietary components, ...

A groundbreaking seven-year study reveals how metagenomic sequencing offers a more accurate, comprehensive approach to diagnosing difficult CNS infections—spotting pathogens that traditional tests ...

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...

Just like humans, Caenorhabditis elegans worms encounter gut-attacking bacterial pathogens through their diet. To thrive in their new hosts, bacteria seek out iron. To protect their iron supplies, ...
