Our Center (previously known as the Center for Point-of-Care Technologies Research for Sexually Transmitted Diseases) has been in existence since 2007 when the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) created and funded the Point-of-Care Technologies Research Network, of which we are a member. POCTRN’s purpose is to drive the development of appropriate point-of-care diagnostics technologies through collaborative efforts that merge scientific and technological capabilities with clinical need.
The goal of POCTRN is to develop technologies with clinical applications using a network model that enhances complementary strengths and builds multidiscplinary partnerships
Each POCTRN Center performs five core functions:
Our work is facilitated through the collaborations and partnerships we have with people and institutions around the world. Take a look at our partners here.
