Notre Dame scientist and Bayer Professor of Engineering -- Hsueh-Chia “Chia” Chang is developing a portable device that can rapidly pinpoint pathogens, toxins and other harmful substances in fluids, ranging from blood and saliva, to water from lakes and streams. This device has the real potential to supplant certain conventional technologies in the areas of homeland security, environmental safety and medical diagnostics.
Chia is teaming up with F3 -- a company that has leased laboratory space at Notre Dame's Innovation Park -- to take this product to market. Here's a link to the South Bend Tribune story about this exciting development:
