Rapidly Adaptable Rapid Test Platforms 

Develop rapid test platforms that can be reconfigured within days or weeks for emerging pathogens, enabling quick self-testing during a pandemic. Address the limitations of traditional lateral flow tests—which rely on antibodies and take months to develop—by significantly accelerating the deployment of diagnostic tools.

R&D Gaps (1)

Rapid detection of emerging bio-threats is critical for effective intervention and containment. However, many pathogens are detected only after widespread transmission has occurred. In addition, attributing the source of these threats remains challenging.
