This semester i took biotech 113, and throughout the entire class, we learned about pathogens and their impacts on the human body. Given the amount of time most bacteria or viruses need to grow inside the body, an early detection process would be extremely beneficial. Researchers have developed a chip that can detect these pathogens to extremely small particles. This process would be vital in the medical field, and would save millions, if not billions of lives in the future.
