Corona Virus Detection with Super Resolution Microscopy

• 

  proof of concept with influenza virus H1N1 on lung cells

Inspiration

We are scientific start-up combining molecular biology with physics.

What it does

Our patented super resolution light microscopes can detect, localize and count single molecules labeled with fluorescence in the nanometer range. It is possible to detect individual virus molecules and to co-localize with other structures like cell receptors. This technology could be a valuable tool in the development of therapeutics and vaccines. It could also serve as a tool for fast virus detection

How we built it

It was built at the university and the proof of concept has been published in a lot of papers

Challenges we ran into

As a start-up, many... but we survived

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We tested the technology in various biological contexts and it worked. We hold more than 30 patents.

What we learned

never give up, believe in your ideas

What's next for Corona Virus Detection with Super Resolution Microscopy

looking for collaborations with virology labs to perform common experiments
