About the research
Could a sensitive molecular test work with a smartphone and very little laboratory equipment?
Read the full research overview
Richard Willson’s group applies molecular recognition to diagnostics, biological separations, and analytical tools for monitoring processes. Its published projects include smartphone-readable lateral flow tests, persistent luminescent reporters, and glow-based immunoassays designed to reduce equipment demands. The work brings chemical engineering together with biochemistry, microbiology, materials, and computation. A central challenge is translating the ability of molecules to recognize one another into measurements that are sensitive, practical, and easier to use.
