An interdisciplinary lab develops a non-invasive, inexpensive and efficient method to detect an incurable disease in young infants
The Laboratory for Bioanalytics and Electrochemical Sensing at the University of Manitoba has developed a novel approach to detect an incurable disease in young infants in a non-invasive, inexpensive and efficient manner. By detecting cytochrome c oxidase deficiency in the early stages, symptoms can be managed with medication to improve the quality of life of the affected individuals. This work has recently been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) and Shubhneet Thind, a microbiology undergraduate student at the Faculty of Science is the first and sole student author of the publication.
