  • Improving the sensitivity in a paper-based Test for the home monitoring of phenylalanine levels in phenylketonuria patients

    Creator:
    Wong, Liam
    Abstract:
    Monitoring phenylalanine (Phe) levels in the blood of individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) is a critical component of therapy. Existing tests for PKU require high-resource laboratories, which are not available to many populations and cannot provide the real-time feedback required for effective therapy monitoring. It would be ideal to develop an...
