Powering Disease Detection Off the Grid: A BioPREVAIL Team Tackles Rural Diagnostics
March 16, 2026, 06:30 GMT Team members: Paula Fernandes, Shadrack Otieno Were Reliable disease detection depends on one thing often taken for granted: electricity. In rural health centers, unstable power can be a critical vulnerability. Every outage delays testing, slows patient care, and widens the window for disease transmission. As Paula Fernandes and Shadrack Otieno […]
Bringing Life to the Waste Bin: A Smarter Approach to Laboratory Waste Management in Kenya
March 16, 2026, 07:15 GMT In laboratories across Kenya, critical diagnostic work is happening every day — from tuberculosis (TB) testing to disease surveillance and research. But behind the microscopes and molecular platforms lies a growing, urgent challenge: medical waste management. For Ronald Odero, a Kenyan laboratory technical advisor working closely with the Ministry of […]
Contain & Sustain: Effluent Waste Treatment Made Simple and Affordable
March 16, 2026, 06:05 GMT Team members: Awie van Rensburg, Timeletso Leteka Effluent waste rarely makes headlines in laboratory design discussions, yet it plays a critical role in biosafety. Every day, laboratories generate liquid waste that may contain biological material capable of causing harm if released untreated into the environment. Managing that waste safely is […]
