Date: Sep 29, 2021 03:44 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
Dr. Erin Schuenzel presented a talk “From DNA to Diagnostics: Creating Molecular Diagnostics for Emerging Pathogens and Pests”. This community seminar was developed to describe and explain the methodology of creating and using different types of DNA based molecular diagnostics, as well as identify the different viruses, bacteria, and insect pests monitored for in the South Texas border. With the testing for COVID in the news, this talk hopes to clarify some of the mystery of diagnostic testing.
