Saliva samples resolve many issues related to nasal swab testing, which can be unpleasant and requires trained medical professionals who are at risk from a procedure that often induces coughing and sneezing.
Eric Brown, a professor of biochemistry and biomedical sciences, explains how saliva testing could hold the key for widespread, accessible COVID-19 testing — which could then help health authorities beat the pandemic once and for all.
Biochemistry and biomedical sciences professor Eric Brown has been awarded one of six annual Killam Research Fellowships for his work on antibacterial drug discovery for drug-resistant infections.
