DURHAM, N.C. An interdisciplinary team of scientists at Duke University has developed a highly sensitive and rapid diagnostic test for Ebola virus (EBOV) infection. In monkeys infected with Ebola, this diagnostic, called the D4-assay, proved to be 1000 times more sensitive than the currently approved rapid diagnostic test and capable of detecting the virus a full day earlier than the gold standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.
This work, which appears in
Science Translational Medicine on April 7, was done by biomedical engineers, molecular biologists, and immunologists at Duke University, and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and the Galveston National Laboratory.

At Duke, Future of Pathology Lies in AI
Researchers at Duke University have been merging artificial intelligence with health care to improve patient outcomes for the better part of two decades. From making cochlear implants deliver purer sounds to the brain to finding hidden trends within reams of patient data, the field spans a diverse range of niches that are now beginning to make real impacts.
Among these niches, however, there is one in which Duke researchers have always been at the leading edge-image analysis, with a broad team of researchers teaching computers to analyze images to unearth everything from various forms of cancer to biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease in the retina.
