Project name: DTRA ‘FEVER’ program – Fieldable tests for Early Viral Exposure Response
October 7th, 2021Partners: MRI Global
The two and a half year contract from the US Department of Defense (DTRA) will help fund prototyping MeMed Key for distinguishing bacterial from viral infections. Notably, in addition to allowing measurements of bacterial versus viral proteins, MeMed Key opens the way to a variety of rapid multiplex-protein measurements at the point-of-care with lab quality precision, which has broad applications. The project will also evaluate and potentially expand the test menu to detect early infections, even at the pre-symptomatic stage. Read More.
