One in 6 American each year suffers a food borne disease. Two Millions annual death in emerging areas due to food borne infections. $80 billions annual cost of losses and illness caused by food borne disease.
The lab is designing novel strategies to early detect spoilage in food by combining additive manufacturing with the directed assembly of biopolymers hybrids to fabricate easy-to-use, fast and cost-effective biosensors.
