Research summary
AI-generated

Josiah Levi Davidson develops low-cost diagnostic tools, especially paper-based and molecular tests, for detecting pathogens in animals and humans. Much of the recent work focuses on rapid, on-farm detection of viruses and bacteria linked to bovine respiratory disease in cattle, as well as tools for avian influenza and SARS-CoV-2. This research combines biosensor engineering with microbiology to create field-usable diagnostic assays.
