CRISPR-Cas technology for rapid detection of pathogens

Abstract

In battling global pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, salmonella, and malaria, rapid and precise detection methods are vital. Traditional approaches often face cost and accessibility challenges, especially in resource-limited areas. Integrating CRISPR-Cas technology into detection processes is a game-changer, offering unparalleled specificity and speed for point-of-care use. This method aligns with Green Biomaterials principles, emphasizing eco-friendliness and resource efficiency. By incorporating green biomaterials, the CRISPR-Cas system becomes more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally sensitive. This integration revolutionizes pathogen detection while promoting environmental stewardship. It not only advances rapid detection but also underscores a commitment to ecological consciousness and sustainability in diagnostics, offering promise for global health.
