About Us The DIY Diagnostics Stream is part of the Freshman Research Initiative, a program that teaches students science through independent research experiences, in the College of Natural Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. We are part of the do-it-yourself (DIY) health diagnostics revolution, developing diagnostic tests to improve patient and environmental health. At DIY Diagnostics, we take an innovative approach to solving real-world problems by combining molecular biology, chemistry, electronics, and computer programming. Our stream emphasizes hands-on learning, where students collaborate to design and refine diagnostic tools through the iterative process of prototyping. We believe every student brings unique skills and perspectives to the team, which we nurture to build confidence and foster creativity. By working together, we create a supportive environment that turns challenges into opportunities for discovery and growth. Join us to develop your expertise and make an impact in the world of diagnostics! 1st Semester Spring Credit: CH204 & NSC109 2nd Semester Fall Credit Options: BIO206L & BIO177 OR BIO377 OR CS378 Questions?
