Attending the Virchow Prize for Global Health Award Ceremony

I will be in Berlin from 15th - 18th October, attending the @WorldHealthSmt. Happy to connect if any of you will be in the Berlin area during this time worldhealthsummit.org

Excited about Papyrus Diagnostics' Urinary Tract Infections AMR ID and susceptibility test, which has been declared as one of the winners of the pan-India AMR Quest competition.

Excited to share our latest work on the development of a technology that enables the dry storage, preservation, and transportation of large volumes of liquid specimens. We demonstrate its application in the dry storage of sputum for Tuberculosis detection: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

@Jain_Aditi_ @an_chem Thank you, Aditi!

Our new design for conducting multiplexed colorimetric detection without patterning paper has been published in Analytical Chemistry. This work presents a fundamentally simpler way of conducting multiplexed paper-based colorimetric detection. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Abstracts due!! This 2-day online workshop for "Diagnostics for Global Health" is currently accepting abstracts, due on 17th May, 2021. Please go ahead and submit. lnkd.in/g-Xmr6t

Did you hear? #MicroTAS2021 will be truly HYBRID. Join us remotely or in person. We want to see you either way. Abstracts due June 1. To learn more, offer input, and network with Co-Chairs Amy Herr & Joel Voldman, join us this Thurs: youtu.be/3m7GF3-mRUw Apr 29, 1:30 PM ET

My PhD student, Shruti Soni, has won the THIRD PRIZE in the national level science story writing competition, AWSAR. Congratulations Shruti!! lnkd.in/gmWyMpr

My lab's third publication of the year 2020 came out on 31st December 2020!! In this publication in ACS Sensors, we show how paper microfluidic devices for the sequential delivery of multiple fluids can be designed using computer models: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Our lab has entered the semi-final round of the XPRIZE Rapid COVID 19 testing competition! lnkd.in/gWuMwj5 This is a 6-month competition to develop faster, cheaper, and easier to use COVID-19 testing methods at scale. Excited about competing in the semifinals!!

How can you expand the analyte quantification range of an off-the-shelf lateral flow assay strip without making any modifications to the strip? Our new article in Sensors and Actuators B shows that you can do it using time-lapse imaging on a smartphone: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations Dharitri, (former) postdoc in my lab, for starting a new position as an Assistant Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at IIT Jammu! Very well deserved Dharitri!! @IITJammu @iiscbangalore

Navjot and Nikhil in my lab, together, have developed what we believe is the most sophisticated mechanistic model of loop mediated isothermal amplification till date. A preprint is now available on ChemRxiv: doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Transport Phenomena at Test and Control Lines in Lateral Flow Immunoassays Reveal a Path to Expanding Their Dynamic Range by Bhushan Toley & co-workers doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

@ananthgr @iiscbangalore @iitdelhi @MIT @Princeton Welcome aboard Ananth!

Very excited that I'll be starting as Asst Professor of Chemical Engg @iiscbangalore later this year! Big thank you to my family, mentors @iitdelhi @MIT @Princeton, collaborators, & friends! My research will focus on computational #nanotech to enable #water & #energy applications

EVERYONE needs to see this twitter.com/bintangnoru/st…

It's about time India starts taking this message seriously.

A year without conferences? How the coronavirus pandemic could change research nature.com/articles/d4158…

India’s efforts to deal with tuberculosis show that developing treatments for the coronavirus aren’t sufficient. There are other significant hurdles to overcome, @VidyaKrishnan writes: theatlantic.com/international/…
