The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic is still truly unknown due to the unavailability of SARS-CoV-2 tests. The development of new types of diagnostics will greatly increase the global testing capacity. Additionally, there are no methods available to track an individual’s health during COVID-19 infections outside of a clinical setting that could be predictive of prognosis, such warning if mild cases are turning severe and require clinical intervention. Cristina Davis' research team has been developing rapid, non-invasive diagnostic platforms for pulmonary viral infections through analysis of a person’s exhaled breath. Exhaled breath contains thousands of metabolites that not only provide diagnostic capabilities but also can be used to assess pulmonary health, tracking disease progression and severity with samples that can be collected at home.
