BSE 4125/6 Senior Design Team: LED Team

Team Members: Lindsey Richardson, Emily Parsons, Maggie Boyer, and Mitch Woodhouse

Advisors: Dr. Andre Muelenaer, Dr. Penelope Muelenaer, Dr. Bobby Grisso, and Edward Jacobs

WHat's our motivation?

Tuberculosis is a deadly problem in Malawi and other low- and middle-income countries. Our team is working to create a prototype of an automated LED microscope that can detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a sample without extensive costs to these areas.
