The rapid test, as simple as a home COVID test, detects proteins in body fluids like sputum.
McMaster University researchers are racing to create a home-based COVID-19 testing kit, which could potentially be ready to move forward for approvals and manufacturing within months.
John Brennan's research focuses on creating easy-to-use tests — think of a home pregnancy or glucose test — for complicated diagnoses. Now, McMaster's new BEAM project centre will help develop and manufacture those tests for wide use.
