CalbaTech Announces UCIrvine Cooperative Research Program Hits Technical Milestone in Development of Respiratory Pathogen Chip
Irvine. CalbaTech, Inc., an emerging Life Sciences company concentrating on providing products and platforms to the research market, for biotech and pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions, today announced a first, significant technical milestone in cooperative effort with the University of California, Irvine, concerning the development of a respiratory pathogen chip.
The collaborative research and development project has developed the first prototype of a DNA array which can detect the presence of a range of commonly occurring respiratory pathogens including influenza viruses, rhinoviruses (common cold viruses) coronaviruses (including the SARS virus), RSV, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and other commonly occurring pathogens. Once fully optimized, the panel will be made available for pathogen detection in clinical pathology laboratories, disease surveillance and research.
"This DNA array project perfectly complements CalbaTech's other development programs on DNA isolation, DNA detection, and associated data handling currently ongoing within the Company's research and development efforts," said James DeOlden, CEO.
