Kirby Institute Seminar Series

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Kirby Institute Seminar Series is a research seminar series that has been running since 2002.

Scientia Professor Ewa Goldys's team at the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, UNSW has created autocatalytic CRISPR sensors that detect specific gene sequences at room temperature. The technology makes it possible to make test strips similar to the COVID-19 RAT tests that detect nucleic acids at PCR sensitivity levels.In this talk, Prof Goldys will discuss the mechanism and core applications of the technology.
