Infectious diseases and respiratory infections in particular are a leading cause of global mortality. As such, there is an urgent need for rapid, large-scale diagnostic tools that can detect these diseases early, something which doesn't currently exist. To address these problems, McGill University Professor of Bioengineering Sara Mahshid's lab has developed an all-in-one detection platform (QolorEX) that can deliver test results in just 13 minutes.
