Fast Pandemic Detection Tool Ready to Fight Flu

In a joint effort by national laboratory-, university- and private-sector institutions, researchers are developing new tools for rapidly characterizing biological pathogens that could give rise to potentially deadly pandemics such as Influenza A (H1N1). Read more about this impressive effort, which was first envisioned by a Chemistry Division staff member and colleagues at UCLA.

These artists' representations show how a High-Throughput Laboratory Network (HTLN) might look when fully developed at a site. The aboratory provides a way to rapidly identify and verify strains of pathogens hundreds of times fater than methods currently available, giving public-health officials options for potentially mitigating or containing an emerging pandemic.
