The DIY Diagnostics Stream is part of the Freshman Research Initiative (FRI), a program that teaches students science through independent research experiences, in the College of Natural Sciences at UT Austin. Our lab develops accessible, easy-to-use diagnostic devices to improve patient outcomes and community health.
- Real-World Diagnostics: Engineering accessible tests and biosensors for infectious disease and environmental monitoring.
- Undergraduate Leadership: Equipping early-career researchers with full experimental design and wet-lab technical mastery.
- Translational Impact: Bridging bench science with clinical readiness, academic conferences, and peer-reviewed outputs.
