Research Description

Gozde Durmus has pioneered a novel approach to sorting and characterizing cells via their magnetic and density signatures. Her invention, a portable magnetic levitation device, uses previously unexplored characteristics of bacteria to rapidly sense and identify drug-resistant cell types. This invention could lead to rapid identification of antibiotic resistance and revolutionize diagnosis of antibiotic-resistant infectious diseases by reducing testing time from days to an hour to accelerate effective treatment for over 10 million patients annually.
