Please join us for the second installment in an informative three-part webinar series that will present NIH’s RADx Tech Program and how it is being leveraged to accelerate the innovation pipeline of technology and deploy them to meet today's most pressing health needs in resolving the COVID-19 pandemic.
The current diagnosis of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection relies on tests that detect either viral RNA or viral antigens. We will explore the currently marketed gold standard COVID-19 tests. We also will review the different types of novel sample and detection technologies being developed and funded by RADx program that have the potential of revolutionizing testing for SARS-CoV-2 in the USA. The session will offer an assessment on how these technologies can help improve the COVID-19 testing capacity in the US.
