Development and optimization of molecular diagnostic assays for the sensitive and specific detection of Schistosoma species

The goal of our project is to develop sensitive and specific assays for the detection of Schistosoma parasites, all of which cause a debilitating disease: Schistosomiasis.

Development and optimization of molecular diagnostic assays for the sensitive and specific detection of Schistosoma species; poster session deriving from special studies and honors thesis research with Steven A. Williams, Gates professor of biology, and Mary Doherty, research associate of biological sciences
