Location: Produce Safety and Microbiology Research
Project Number: 2030-42000-055-014-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: May 1, 2026
End Date: Apr 30, 2029
Objective:
This project aims to develop and design specialized pathogen assessment systems and intervention, including system optimization, prototyping, testing, and cost estimates to improve surveillance capability.
Approach:
Bioengineering and nanotechnology will be utilized to develop the novel tools and delivery systems. In-house aptamers and phage intervention will be generated.An aptamer-based land phage-based system will be designed and constructed. The stability and application of novel systems will be evaluated.
