Every so often, a food product is recalled because of some sort of contamination. For consumers of such products, a recall can trigger doubt in the safety and reliability of what they eat and drink.

When you think of electric fields, you likely think of electricity — the stuff that makes modern life possible by powering everything from household appliances to cellphones. Researchers have been ...

Scientists from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and elsewhere have described a method of detecting blood-borne pathogens faster and more accurately than traditional blood cultures. The ...

The Myhrvold lab develops CRISPR-based technologies for studying RNA. Our primary interest is RNAs involved in host-pathogen interactions. We use a variety of RNA viruses and other pathogens as model ...

Two studies have looked into whether private certifications improve food safety with results varying by certification ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institute have developed a novel method using DNA nanoballs to detect pathogens, aiming to simplify nucleic acid testing and revolutionize pathogen detection. The study's ...

Join us to explore recent advancements and applications of isothermal amplification techniques, such as LAMP, RCA, and RPA. We will compare these methods with traditional PCR, discuss their benefits ...

The burden of infectious diarrhoea remains a significant global health challenge, compounded by the diverse array of gastrointestinal pathogens including bacteria, viruses and parasites. Advances in ...

Viral infections are difficult to diagnose based on the patient’s clinical presentation alone. A reliable and accurate diagnosis requires laboratory-based testing for the pathogen of interest. Such ...

The factories that process our food and beverages (newsflash: no, it doesn’t come straight from a farm) have to be kept very clean, or we’d all get very ill, to be blunt. Ensuring that usually entails ...
