Responding to the COVID-19 Crisis: Rapid Viral Testing Developments
May 14, 2020 - 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global crisis. One key problem has been the lack of test kits that can be used at home. The existence of such test kits would make it far easier to understand and control this and future viral outbreaks. However to date such a kit is not available. Dr. Unrau of SFU’s Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry will discuss why the development of such kits is not trivial and how the current pandemic might ultimately lead to the development of routine home viral testing.
