Biotechnology - Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands
We are team Rotterdam_HR 2020, the third iGEM team from the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. We are a team with multiple disciplinaries: five Biology and Medical Laboratory research students; one Computer Science student and a student of Industrial Project Design. We are developing a low-cost and flexible detection system for health-related real-world problems, the Health Risk Detection kit. This kit will bring a fast and reliable point-of-care testing solution for people who have a need for fast medical testing at home or at the bedside. This will improve health care for many different social groups that depend on home care. Our project will mainly focus on current diseases such as COVID-19, to prevent intensive hospital visits but will also lighten work load for district nurses and midwives in their care of the home-bound.You can take a look at the details on our wiki:
