Graduate students Esther Monroe (left) and Nishit Shetty carry out droplet experiments using a custom-built environmental rotating chamber. A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are developing devices to detect the virus that causes COVID-19 in the air.
As the COVID-19 pandemic surged last summer and contact tracers struggled to identify sources of infections, John Cirrito, PhD, an associate professor of neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and Carla Yuede, PhD, an associate professor of psychiatry, began to kick around an idea. Could a biosensor they’d developed years ago for Alzheimer’s disease be converted into a detector for the virus that causes COVID-19?
Sergio Lobera I am very proud and happy to make the final. Its very special to play in final for me. I have very good players and personalities in dressing room. THey deserve to enjoy this moment and hopefully to win the trophy for the people who believed in us at the start. My focus is on the final. I wish them [FC Goa and Ferrando] the best in the Champions League. They played very good and in penalties everything is possible. When I was working in Spain, there are no penalties when you finish in top of the table. I want to win the trophy. [On goalkeeper change and no shots on target] About Amrinder, it was a decision of gking coach. It was a brave decision by my coach. For me, Amrinder is best goalkeeper in India but Purba can do a good job in penalties. It was a very difficult game. In 2 legs we suffered because we didnt have possesion of the ball.
