Right after a delightful Christmas Eve dinner with members of the Toley Lab 😀

Our recent article in Scientific Reports (nature.com/articles/s4159…) published on 25th October 2019 was "one of the top 100 downloaded chemistry papers for Scientific Reports in 2019"!!🙂 Only 2 other articles on this list were published later than our article.

India’s efforts to deal with tuberculosis show that developing treatments for the coronavirus aren’t sufficient. There are other significant hurdles to overcome, Vidya writes: theatlantic.com/international/…

A year without conferences? How the coronavirus pandemic could change research nature.com/articles/d4158…

It's about time India starts taking this message seriously.

EVERYONE needs to see this x.com/bintangnoru/st…

Transport Phenomena at Test and Control Lines in Lateral Flow Immunoassays Reveal a Path to Expanding Their Dynamic Range by Bhushan Toley & co-workers doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Navjot and Nikhil in my lab, together, have developed what we believe is the most sophisticated mechanistic model of loop mediated isothermal amplification till date. A preprint is now available on ChemRxiv: doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Congratulations Dharitri, (former) postdoc in my lab, for starting a new position as an Assistant Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at IIT Jammu! Very well deserved Dharitri!! IIT Jammu IISc Bangalore

How can you expand the analyte quantification range of an off-the-shelf lateral flow assay strip without making any modifications to the strip? Our new article in Sensors and Actuators B shows that you can do it using time-lapse imaging on a smartphone: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our lab has entered the semi-final round of the XPRIZE Rapid COVID 19 testing competition! lnkd.in/gWuMwj5 This is a 6-month competition to develop faster, cheaper, and easier to use COVID-19 testing methods at scale. Excited about competing in the semifinals!!

My lab's third publication of the year 2020 came out on 31st December 2020!! In this publication in ACS Sensors, we show how paper microfluidic devices for the sequential delivery of multiple fluids can be designed using computer models: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

My PhD student, Shruti Soni, has won the THIRD PRIZE in the national level science story writing competition, AWSAR. Congratulations Shruti!! lnkd.in/gmWyMpr

Did you hear? #MicroTAS2021 will be truly HYBRID. Join us remotely or in person. We want to see you either way. Abstracts due June 1. To learn more, offer input, and network with Co-Chairs Amy Herr & Joel Voldman, join us this Thurs: youtu.be/3m7GF3-mRUw Apr 29, 1:30 PM ET

Abstracts due!! This 2-day online workshop for "Diagnostics for Global Health" is currently accepting abstracts, due on 17th May, 2021. Please go ahead and submit. lnkd.in/g-Xmr6t

Our new design for conducting multiplexed colorimetric detection without patterning paper has been published in Analytical Chemistry. This work presents a fundamentally simpler way of conducting multiplexed paper-based colorimetric detection. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Excited to share our latest work on the development of a technology that enables the dry storage, preservation, and transportation of large volumes of liquid specimens. We demonstrate its application in the dry storage of sputum for Tuberculosis detection: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Excited about Papyrus Diagnostics' Urinary Tract Infections AMR ID and susceptibility test, which has been declared as one of the winners of the pan-India AMR Quest competition.

I will be in Berlin from 15th - 18th October, attending the World Health Summit. Happy to connect if any of you will be in the Berlin area during this time worldhealthsummit.org
