Biomedical engineer David Myers on making molecular diagnostic tests more accessible
What if receiving a rapid, high-accuracy molecular diagnostic test didn't require driving to a major hospital or waiting days for specialized lab equipment? Impact in Progress host Kimberly Eck connects with biomedical engineer David Myers to discuss how his lab is decentralizing molecular testing.
