Researchers from The University of Queensland have made a dust from baker's yeast that can detect COVID-19 and could safeguard communities against future pandemics.
The powdery "nanoprobes" developed at UQ's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) are synthetic yeast fragments which can be deployed in environments such as airports, hospitals, stadiums and sewers to detect COVID-19 biomarkers. The technology is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
Lead researcher and director of the AIBN's Center for Personalized Nanomedicine Professor Matt Trau said the yeast nanoprobes can also be integrated into current COVID-19 testing platforms. ...
