Funding to develop the ability to screen patient samples for Covid-19, at the point-of-care
20 April 2020
The project, led by Otago University molecular biology associate professor Jo-Ann Stanton, is one of 13 covid-19 studies being backed by the Government and the Health Research Council.
She says the point of care philosophy is that you move your testing closer to where it's needed - such as doctors clinics and aged-care facilities.
Stanton says it means you're getting the test and the result, closer to the people who need those answers quickly.
