Title:

COVID-19 Response: DeepSeq technology for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging pathogens in environmental settings

Agreement Number:

957543

Agreement Value:

$62,644.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 27, 2020 - Mar 31, 2022

Description:

There is mounting evidence that a significant source of COVID-19 infections has been through the environment —particularly aerosolized droplets from infected peoples' lungs. A solution is proposed whereby genome sequencing technologies will be used to track pathogens indoors, where workers and/or consumers are in close proximity, using surface and air sampling technologies. This will support a tracking and early alert system for resurgence of the coronavirus or other pathogens (both viral and bacterial).
