Location: Webinar
Overview
Leaders from the NIBIB funded U54 Atlanta Center Microsystems Engineered Point of Care Technologies (ACME POCT) will provide an overview of the newly announced NIH Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) Initiative. RADx was launched to fund projects that will speed the delivery of accurate, easy-to-use, scalable tests to all Americans. The ACME POCT leaders and their institutions (Emory, Georgia Tech, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta) are leading an effort to test and validate some of the most promising technologies. Please join us to learn more about this transformative initiative and to ask questions.
