In one project, researchers
are comparing the genetic profiles of mosquitoes infected with malaria
parasites with uninfected mosquitoes to create a rapid field test
to predict the risk of mosquito infection. New
sensor would simplify diagnostics Research on a new sensing device that can simultaneously identify more than 3,000 biological materials shows great promise. The sensor can detect a specific biological agent in concentrations lower than one part per billion in water and blood. The new generation microarray technology, called chip for untagged biomolecule sequencing (CUBS), can detect target DNA, RNA, or proteins. As a potentially portable unit, it will allow sophisticated diagnosis in the field. Read more |

are the special targets of Virginia
Tech research
That
IS what the research shows!|
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is a comprehensive research and doctoral-granting university with total research expenditures in 2002 in excess of $200 million. In addition to the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Architecture and Urban Studies, Arts and Sciences, Business, Engineering, Natural Resources, Human Resources and Education, and Veterinary Medicine, there are more than 100 research centers. Research that crosses disciplines is a tradition and strength at Virginia Tech. |
