Early detection of organ transplant rejection using urine tests published in Nature Biomedical Engineering

Our work on activity sensors for early and noninvasive detection of acute transplant rejection was just published in Nature Biomedical Engineering! Congrats to Quoc and the team!

Early detection of organ transplant rejection using urine tests published in Nature Biomedical Engineering
Summary | The current diagnostic “gold” standard to monitor transplant patients for signs of organ rejection is the tissue biopsy. However, this procedure is invasive and lacks the ability to detect rejection at an early stage. We developed immune sensors that sense anti-graft immune activity from recipient urine, allowing noninvasive detection at the onset of transplant rejection.
