Nobel Prize winner develops COVID-19 test that uses phone camera
UC Berkeley and Gladstone Institutes' scientists claim to have developed a CRISPR-based COVID-19 diagnostic test that uses a smartphone camera and provides positive or negative results in 15-30 minutes. It also gives an estimate of number of virus particles in a sample. One of the researchers, Jennifer Doudna, won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for co-discovering CRISPR-Cas genome editing.
