CoE Lead: Prof   Colin Jamora colinj[at]instem.res.in 
As a lead for Clinical Studies CoE, Prof. Colin Jamora, brings expertise in leading COVID-19 diagnostic testing laboratory and biorepository at NCBS/inStem. His research interests include new anti-viral therapeutics.
 
Tapping into inStem’s archive of patient samples from the BLiSC COVID-19 diagnostic laboratory, the CoE evaluates diagnostic kits and novel technologies submitted by MSMEs. The CoE is operated not as a service provider but as a partnership where MSME engagement aims to troubleshoot and optimize kit performance.
 
Current MSME Engagements:
 
Clinical evaluation (sensitivity and specificity) of:
  • COVID-19 diagnostic kits - RT PCR, LAMP, CRISPR & new technologies
  • RNA Extraction free methods
  • Alternate sample formats - Saliva
