The Myhrvold lab develops CRISPR-based technologies for studying RNA. Our primary interest is RNAs involved in host-pathogen interactions. We use a variety of RNA viruses and other pathogens as model ...

Every so often, a food product is recalled because of some sort of contamination. For consumers of such products, a recall can trigger doubt in the safety and reliability of what they eat and drink.

The factories that process our food and beverages (newsflash: no, it doesn’t come straight from a farm) have to be kept very clean, or we’d all get very ill, to be blunt. Ensuring that usually entails ...

SHERLOCK, a rapid CRISPR-based diagnostic, detects Candida auris and antifungal resistance mutations in patient samples in under an hour.

A device capable of conveniently detecting pathogens in healthcare, food production and agricultural environments has been ...

Join us to explore recent advancements and applications of isothermal amplification techniques, such as LAMP, RCA, and RPA. We will compare these methods with traditional PCR, discuss their benefits ...

The burden of infectious diarrhoea remains a significant global health challenge, compounded by the diverse array of gastrointestinal pathogens including bacteria, viruses and parasites. Advances in ...
