Congrats to the inSEPStigator team for successfully completing their capstone!
Dr. Efron enjoyed collaborating with the Arizona State University (ASU) team during their capstone project development. The team developed a device to detect levels of CRP and IL-6 in saliva to characterize the patient’s possibility of having sepsis with the hopes that it would be a diagnostic tool to detect sepsis faster. They based their test on using antibody-linked gold nanoparticles to provide a colorimetric result on a test strip. Then using a sensor to detect and quantify the result.
