Collaborative Evaluation of Emerging Plasmonic Technologies for Point-of-Care Diagnostics in Low-Resource Settings

ISR-affiliated Assistant professor Ian White (BioE) has received one of four inaugural University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (UM-CERSI) Innovation Awards. These one-year grants support collaborative research projects fostering regulatory science development in medications and/or medical devices. White received an award for "Collaborative Evaluation of Emerging Plasmonic Technologies for Point-of-Care Diagnostics in Low-Resource Settings." The project focuses on the development of paper-based, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) assay for viral diagnostics.
