Dr. Thomas Ming Hung LEE (Associate Professor and Associate Head (Academic) of the Department of Biomedical Engineering) and Prof. Shea Ping YIP (Professor and Head of the Department of Health Technology and Informatics) were interviewed by Unwire.Pro on the project “A low-cost handheld device for decentralized detection of SARS-CoV-2 and host response in COVID-19 patients: Development and evaluation” funded by the Health and Medical Research Fund of the Food and Health Bureau. The primary aim of the project is to achieve rapid COVID-19 screening in decentralized settings such as airports, quarantine centers, and private clinics. The research team has developed gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric probes for monitoring nucleic acid amplification reaction. The assay is conducted with the use of a low-cost handheld device built by the Industrial Centre. The interview videos are available at Unwire.Pro and Unwire.HK .
