The Importance of Diagnostics in Tackling the COVID-19 Pandemic

Large-scale testing and contact tracing are central to efforts to control the pandemic. This relies on diagnostic tests that can rapidly, accurately and reliably detect SARS-CoV-2.

Why Antibody Testing Should Be Our Next Tool in the Fight Against COVID-19

In this article, Keir Lewis explores how antibody testing can help provide invaluable data that can be used to inform the next stage of the vaccination program rollout.

SARS-CoV-2 Detection Methods

The development of reliable and robust tests, capable of detecting active or previous infection with SARS-CoV-2, is essential for the effective diagnosis, tracking and treatment of COVID-19. In this infographic, we take a closer look at different testing methods.

The Value of Nothing – Challenges of Developing Diagnostics for Endemic Diseases

How can you treat something if you don’t know what the problem is? This is the first challenge for medics and vets, one for which diagnostic testing holds the key. But when the disease you want to test for is endemic, it can raise some additional challenges - the all important negative controls.

Leveraging the Power of Genomics To Detect and Track SARS-CoV-2 Variants

Monitoring changes in the viral genome is continuing to play a crucial role in shaping the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Infectious Disease Diagnostics – News and Features

One Step Closer to a System That Can Detect Any Virus

A new study has validated the use of a new system that can detect any virus that could potentially infect humans, bringing it one step closer to use in viral surveillance and diagnosis.

200 New Kinds of CRISPR Systems Discovered

By analyzing bacterial data, researchers have discovered thousands of rare new CRISPR systems that have a range of functions and could enable gene editing, diagnostics and more.

"Mini Bladders" Reveal New Insights Into Urinary Tract Infections

A human tissue model of a bladder has been used by researchers to show that bacterial strains can hide in the bladder wall, causing persistent urinary tract infections.

Lab-on-a-Chip Accurately Identifies Viruses Within Three Minutes

A virus diagnosis device that gives lab-quality results within just three minutes has been invented by engineers at the University of Bath, who describe it as the ‘world’s fastest Covid test’.

The Future of Digital Health With Professor Michael Snyder

Professor Michael Snyder performed the first longitudinal detailed integrative personal omics profile and used this to assess disease risk and monitor disease states. Technology Networks invited Snyder to an Ask Me Anything session to answer your questions about the future of digital health.

New Rapid Electronic Diagnostic Test for Infectious Diseases Developed

A new molecular test for bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 has been developed by scientists at the University of Surrey, as they warn that the world needs to be prepared for the next pandemic.
