Covid-19 diagnostic project

The COVID-19 pandemic is a once-in-a-century global crisis.  Widespread, frequent testing is the key to getting the world back on its feet. Current COVID-19 testing options are expensive, slow, and uncomfortable.

In collaboration with Homodeus Inc. (a 4Catalyzer company, founded by Jonathan Rothberg, the pioneer of next-generation sequencing), our goal is to develop an accurate, affordable, and simple testing that can be done anywhere — from the point of care to the home. We aim to make testing available to everyone around the world, for COVID-19 today and any pathogen tomorrow.
