One challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic has been monitoring cases in places with high amounts of foot traffic. A team of students from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University is working on a biosensor that could quickly diagnose cases and help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The Aerosol Pathogen Sensor team was selected for the National Science Foundation’s I-Corps Site Program at Texas A&M to gain resources and assistance with moving their design past the concept phase.
