Nelson Lab Featured by Voice of America

 

Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Professor Kara Nelson's lab has been conducting research on monitoring COVID-19 in wastewater. By measuring levels of the virus in sewage, her team tracks the prevalence of COVID-19 among many thousands of people by testing from a single sample station. This method is not only more effective and efficient than relying on clinical tests, but allows researchers and policymakers to track the virus' spread well before individuals show symptoms.
