Bay Area researchers believe a new device has the potential to ramp up the fight against COVID-19. It's designed to diagnose the virus in a fraction of the time, with the help of something you may have in your pocket. All it takes is a marriage of Nobel Prize-winning science and consumer electronics, namely, a cellphone. UC Berkeley bioengineer Dan Fletcher and colleagues at San Francisco's Gladstone Institute of Virology are working hard to develop a COVID-19 test, using a cellphone's camera and CRISPR biotechnology, that can detect the virus in 30 minutes or less.
