A pill-sized heating device for diagnostic testing
A U of T Engineering team — including Professor Warren Chan (IBBME, Donnelly Centre) and PhD candidates Pranav Kadhiresan and Buddhisha Udugama — has developed a new technology to regulate the temperature of biological samples through the different stages of diagnostic testing.

The device could be especially useful in resource-limited regions around the world without access to specialized lab facilities.
