RADx Tech accelerates FDA authorization of first point-of-care hepatitis C test
The NIBIB Director Dr. Bruce Tromberg discusses the latest accomplishment by the RADx Tech Independent Test Assessment Program with the authorization of the first point-of-care hepatitis C virus diagnostic test.
RADx Initiative: Bioengineering for COVID-19 at Unprecedented Speed and Scale
NIBIB Director Dr. Bruce Tromberg marks the two-year anniversary of RADx® Tech, and takes a brief look back at its formation, impact, and potential for future growth.
Bridge2AI: Call to the bioengineering community
NIBIB is proud to be one of the co-sponsors of the exciting new NIH Common Fund initiative Bridge2AI which aims to dramatically advance widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for biomedical research.
RADx One Year Later – A Sea Change for Diagnostics
A quiet healthcare revolution is taking place, driven by an urgent national need and fueled by cutting-edge technologies. Diagnostics have changed, and more COVID-19 tests are now performed in point of care (POC) and home settings than in central labs. NIBIB is now looking forward with the goal of leveraging this unprecedented transformation.
When to Test website adds new features: Guidance for K-12 and businesses
An innovative online tool funded by NIBIB helps organizations choose a COVID-19 testing strategy that will work best for their specific needs.
Multiple Reflections: looking forward, looking back
2021 is finally here and most of us are thrilled to put last year in the rear-view mirror. Although the rollercoaster month of January hasn’t been the smoothest of starts, there are many positive signs that a brighter future is just around the corner.
Robust engineering response powers rapid progress toward thwarting pandemic
Several months ago in this space I wrote that bioengineered technologies for COVID-19 testing must ultimately be deployed to help reduce the spread of the virus and return us safely to full function as a society. Since then, through a massive response by the bioengineering community in support of the RADx initiative, we have awarded contracts worth $ 513.1 million to 25 small and large biomedical diagnostic companies for scale-up and manufacturing.
Social engineering and bioengineering together can thwart the COVID-19 pandemic
NIBIB's goal is to accelerate research, translation, and commercialization of technologies that will make a difference in the battle against COVID-19.
