One team is developing rapid self-tests that would lower community exposure, and the other is studying farming communities for insights on transmission and risk for human populations.
Matthew Miller and Yingfu Li’s research teams have created a synthetic aptamer, made of genetic material, that can stick to a virus and protect the body from infection, much like antibodies.
McMaster researchers have created packaging that signals in real time when food is contaminated with salmonella or other dangerous pathogens, without further lab tests or even unwrapping it.
