Nanoresponder - Call to Action!
With ever increasing threats from emergent pathogens and multiple resistant bacteria, hospitals are cracking down with more rigorous monitoring and decontamination procedures to prevent pathogen spread.
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) vehicles and workers are often the first point of patient care, however, little is known about the importance of EMS vehicles for the transmission of pathogens, and detection methods lag behind those of hospitals.
We are Nanoresponder! A team dedicated to the advancement of pathogen detection and monitoring in EMS vehicles. We have taken a dual approach to pathogen detection: (1) Nanopore Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of DNA samples from EMS vehicles; and (2) A rapid single-domain antibody detection system to generate antibodies that may be implemented in simple and reliable testing kits for fast, on-site pathogen detection.
