New Biomedical Device to Silence Whooping Cough
Date: July 30, 2014 at 10:27 am



A low-cost tool for diagnosing whooping cough in low-resource settings is on the horizon at The University of Texas at El Paso. UTEP faculty members Delfina C. Domínguez, Ph.D., professor of clinical laboratory sciences, and XiuJun “James” Li, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry, have joined efforts to produce a paper-based biochip that can be used in schools, clinics and developing nations to detect pertussis, also known as whooping cough...
