Genemarkers has seen a surge in business due to COVID-19 testing.
KALAMAZOO, Mich. The expansion of COVID-19 testing, while playing a large part in pandemic mitigation strategies across Michigan, also fueled genomics research company Genemarkers exponential growth. It s an accomplishment being celebrated by the Biosciences Research and Commercialization Center (BRCC) of Western Michigan University a nonprofit that invests in early stage life science startups across the state.
Genemarkers, which applies state-of-the-art genomics technologies to research and development, initially formed a solid foundation in the skin care industry before diversifying into clinical genetic testing. The company found itself uniquely positioned to make a pandemic pivot when novel coronavirus cases began surging in the spring of 2020.

Justice. Equality. Solidarity.
Those are some of the themes artist Titi de Baccarat had in mind when he organized The Kneeling Art Photography project. He enlisted 10 Maine photographers to create portraits of dozens of Mainers taking a knee. The project explores the meaning and evolution of the gesture through the images and words, especially in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd and the conviction of his killer.

Rutgers researchers are developing a rapid breathalyzer test that would determine in minutes if someone is infected with COVID-19 or other respiratory illnesses.
“In addition to helping diagnose COVID-19, the goal of the project is to create a platform that can be expanded into a future, easy-to-use, non-invasive rapid breathalyzer to diagnostic respiratory diseases, including possible future pandemics,” said principal investigator Edward DeMauro, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering who runs the Emil Buehler Supersonic Wind Tunnel.
The breathalyzer will collect exhaled aerosol particles, deposit the particles into an electronic biosensor, and give a quick result without the need for an uncomfortable swab test. A prototype of the device will also be able to detect several different respiratory viruses, infections, or illnesses.
