Pathoscan Field Trial Success

The goal of this project is to ensure that Pathoscan can have a successful 2025 field trail by optimizing our Pathobox production process using hands-on experience. It is ideal for teams of learners participating in an interdisciplinary studies such as InterD or Global Challenges classes. This will allow students to learn how point of collection testing works from a holistic perspective. There will be two members of the team: Laboratory Manager: The laboratory manager will be responsible for processing the outstanding samples delivered by our clients under the direction and supervision of Proxima R&D. In this role, the student will have hands on experience with our partners at Proxima R&D laboratories in microbial techniques including PCR and qPCR. These samples are not mission critical, and are intended to serve as a quality control mechanism that the Pathobox Manager will use to ensure that the Pathobox is functional. Pathobox Manager: In this experience, the student will learn how to assemble electronics components with hands-on experience so that they can optimize the assembly process of the Pathobox. If interested, the student can also learn how to use FDM manufacturing technologies.
