Entry for the EWH Design Competition
Provide Hospitals in the Developing world with a method to gauge patient response to HIV treatment
This information helps doctors determine the best way to suppress HIV in early stages
Design a device that can reproduce this method at a low cost
First Project: HIV Treatment Analysis
Work alongside UCSD healthcare professionals to streamline a novel biological assay
Prototype an inexpensive thermocycler needed to run PCR for the assay
Learn how to design a temperature control system
Gain experience in engineering product development and documentation
Year-long project commitment Open to All Majors
