Rapid Diagnostics for Critical Care:
Dr. Vishu Asthana’s Diagnostic Suite
Current bacterial tests take days, forcing doctors to prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics that foster drug-resistant superbugs. To address this, Dr. Vishu Asthana at the University of Michigan (U-M) developed the R² system, enabling culture-free bacterial identification directly from biofluids in just three hours. His portfolio also features standalone-licensable 3D-printed sample filters and 100+ target PCR primers.
