ChemSem News 3: the PADs Project
Chemistry delivers. For countries that lack resources, have inadequate healthcare and access to health care, chemistry is solving problems by delivering affordable and accessible diagnostics using inexpensive paper. The field of paper-based diagnostics is on track to revolutionize individualized point-of-care testing for both developed and underdeveloped countries. Chemistry is central and essential to this effort.
Come and hear how scientists and students in our local Michiana area are helping to solve some of our world problems designing and using paper analytical devices (PADs).
