Initiating a Sustainable Crowdsourced System for Rapid, Affordable and Point-of-Care Diagnosis for Antimicrobial Resistance in Australia [ 2020 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Hosam Zowawi (Principal investigator)

Brief description I am an infectious diseases scientist that thrives to make clinical tests affordable and accessible. There is an urgent global need to expedite diagnoses of infectious diseases, particularly those caused by antibiotic resistant microbes. My project will design in-house affordable tests that are tailored to address the medical needs in different settings. By wide spreading these tests I will also initiate a sustainable crowdsourced system to monitor the spread of resistant microbes in Australia.
