The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $354,570 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) for the development of a cost-effective, user-friendly point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tool for HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection. The project aims to create a microchip-based "CamoChip" technology that integrates serological and molecular tests for HIV and HBV into a single platform, enabling rapid diagnosis and monitoring within minutes. The CamoChip approach utilizes color-encoded beads coated with antibodies to capture key biomarkers, including HIV-1 RNA, HBV DNA, HBsAg, HBeAg, and ALT. This innovative diagnostic solution, combined with an AI-based algorithm, is designed to empower healthcare providers to deliver tailored treatment and prevent new infections, particularly in diverse and resource-limited settings. The project period runs from July 2025 to June 2030.
