Citizen Science - environmental analysis with paper microfluidics Jul 1, 2017 - Jun 30, 2018
Citizen Science is a concept that allows non-scientists to contribute to scientific research. We are aiming to apply this concept to environmental analysis, where non-professionals can carry out locally a simple to operate analytical measurement of a...

Pathogen point-of-care diagnostics Jan 1, 2018 - Feb 28, 2019
Rates of maternal sepsis, still births, premature delivery, new-­‐born sepsis and new-­‐born deaths are high in Kenya. A strong contributing factor is maternal infection with pathogens such as Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, Bacteroides s... Read More about Pathogen point-of-care diagnostics.

New technology to improve capability for clinical radiopharmaceutical production Jan 1, 2019 - Feb 28, 2022
Medical imaging techniques rely on radioactive atoms that don't last for a long time and so methods need to be developed to handle them on hospital sites or close by. Essentially this is drug factory near to the patient as the material is decaying al... Read More about New technology to improve capability for clinical radiopharmaceutical production.

Microfluidic System for Water Quality Monitoring in Resource Poor Environments Mar 1, 2015 - Feb 28, 2017
The diseases resultant of microbial contamination in water is a global burden. A single yet common consequence of water borne diseases is diarrhoea which according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) afflicts mainly the poverty stricken in develop...
