Volatilomics for Early Detection

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.

Current diagnostic tests are costly or often offer only limited information, failing to reveal the cause of disease and delaying or preventing administration of available treatments. Moreover, early detection systems for emerging pathogens are fragmented, delaying critical public health intervention...
