Brief description Responding to an urgent need to advance rapid molecular diagnostics, this project will explore new photonics and biochemistry approaches to DNA recognition. It is anchored on proprietary light-emitting nanodots which have single-molecule sensitivity in conjunction with tunable optical identities. We will develop a multiplexing reagent library of DNA probes to sense trace DNA molecules and to recognize multiple pathogens in a single assay. This innovation will create a hybrid-PCR technology platform for current industry-standard pathogen detection tests. The outcomes of the project will enable DNA based pathogen diagnostics within 90 minutes, four times faster than the current tests.
