We are pleased to share that our project related to SARS-CoV-2 detection is featured in a video produced by the NRP78 Media center.

We are grateful to our colleagues from the teams of Dr Igor Stefanini at SUPSI and Prof. Francesco Bertoni at IOR-USI who made this study possible. We are deeply thankful to the Swiss National Science Foundation and the NRP78 Covid-19 Program who funded our research project.
