The National Science Foundation Division of Industrial Innovation awarded a $256,000 Project Grant to Omaroon Care under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant supports the development of rapid and sensitive quantification of phenylalanine within test strips. The goal is to improve detection of phenylalanine levels, which is important for monitoring phenylketonuria. The one-year project period runs from March 2021 to February 2022 in Mission Viejo, California. The funding enables Omaroon Care to advance test strip technology to allow for quicker and more accurate phenylalanine level readings, which could benefit those living with phenylketonuria.
