摘要

Medical diagnostic testing is a key component in the efficient delivery of health-care solutions. However, the widespread use of diagnostic tests in developing nations such as India is held back because of their development for and in developed markets. Further, the test results take time to come in from a centralized lab which may be disastrous in a critical care situation.rnDhananjaya Dendukuri, PhD in chemical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has developed a novel microfluidic-chip based platform to perform low-cost medical diagnostic tests with a focus on immu-noassays (protein tests).
