Modifying Baker's Yeast for Low-cost Detection of Fungal Pathogens (6 of 12)

image: Researchers have developed a single-component, customizable, inexpensive biosensor using live cells to detect pathogens worldwide. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 28, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by N. Ostrov at Columbia University in New York, NY, and colleagues was titled, 'A modular yeast biosensor for low-cost point-of-care pathogen detection.' view more
