INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENTS IN DIAGNOSTICS AT UM

11. August 2021.

A UM project to develop a diagnostic procedure to identify genetic material in bacteria or viruses has been granted funding by the Hungarian NRDI Fund. The project plans to design an automated, efficient testing system using magnetic nanoparticle–quantum dot technology that can be used for both molecular binding and detection in genes. This would lead to a quick and standardised process and reduce the exposure of laboratory personnel to potential infections.
