Bacterial Meningitis Diagnostics Platform
Programme Leaders: Prof. Terry Smith, NUIG & Prof. Martin Cormican, NUIG, GUH

Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, the lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

This project involves the development of a diagnostic device to detect the three target organisms that are the primary causative agents of bacterial meningitis, N. meningitidis, S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae.

Core Competencies:
Signal Amplification Science
