Startup develops yeast-based test to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva
Incubated at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and supported by São Paulo Research Foundation- FAPESP s Innovative Research in Small Business Program (PIPE), BIOinFOOD is a startup that is developing a rapid COVID-19 diagnostic test based on a patent application filed by students at UNICAMP s Genomics and Bioenergy Laboratory.
The test is based on a biosensor consisting of a genetically modified brewer s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which changes color if human ACE2 receptor expressed by the yeast s membrane binds to the spike glycoprotein present on the external surface of the virus.
