The PPGEQ professor, Prof. Luiz Orlando Ladeira, Ph.D, integrates the team of the Nanobiomedicine Research Group (NBMrg), from UFMG, which developed a more accurate test for the diagnosis of zika and dengue with the use of gold nanoparticles.
The article detailing the technique was published in Scientific Reports (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-68357-9).
This innovation was disseminated in several media, including a recent report on Bom Dia Brasil, which you can check here (portuguese only): https://globoplay.globo.com/v/8805668/
PPGEQ congratulates all the researchers involved in the study!
