Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

I am reviewing the current literature on virus detection methods. Fast and reliable virus detection is critical during a virus outbreak. There are now portable rapid real-time PCR devices that accurately identify viruses in as little as 20 min. There is a lateral flow immunoassay for detecting antibodies that is currently being developed that the researchers claim has the accuracy comparable to PCR. Chemiluminescence immunoassays have also been developed that identify and quantify specific antibodies with high accuracy. Devices to detect SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses are being developed to be faster, more sensitive, more accurate, and can be customized to identify new viruses and antibodies.
