PROJECTS “Visual Detection of Emerging Pathogens” (9/2012-present)
Detecting
pathogenic
DNA
in
a
way
that
can
be
done
isothermally
in
the
field
and
with
a
high
degree
of
sensitivity.
Will
improve
upon
the
level
of
detection
from
previous
projects
by
making
use
of
hyper
branched
rolling
circle
amplification
(RCA)
and
evaluating
this
level
of
detection
procedure
through
the
detection
of
E.
coli
DNA.
Will
design
an
oligonucleotide
probe
that
will
increase
signal
amplification
capabilities
of
the
RCA
products
and
will
test
the
nicking
endonucleases
and
restrictions
on
the
RCA
product.
Optimum
detection
reaction
conditions
will
be
determined
for
the
DNAzymes.
