BRAVE: Bioaerosol Risk Assessment interVention Engineering
Virginia Tech, is developing a new biosensor that enables real-time, ultrasensitive detection of specific pathogens and allergens using nanobody-based technology. The project will also deliver software that translates data from the biosensor, building, community, and environment to respiratory risk, and tools to optimize proven interventions that reduce bioaerosol concentrations and maintain healthy conditions. The team will demonstrate their technology across multiple daycare centers.
