Bayer Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Hsueh-Chia Chang and his lab are focusing on the development of fast, sensitive, and portable tests to combat the high rates of false negatives from coronavirus tests in current use. In their lab tests, combining nanofiltration with iACE technology has shown to be 1,800 times more sensitive than tests run with the lentivirus.

In collaboration with the University of South Florida, a team of Notre Dame researchers led by Edwin Michael, professor of biological sciences, has developed an online portal that forecasts how resources may be impacted during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The online portal, created with Notre Dame's Center for Research Computing, provides officials an opportunity to test how different measures might affect the timing and number of cases that could emerge and plan for the appropriate actions and hospital resources.
