The overall goal of ACME POCT is to assist and enable inventors from across the country who have developed microsystems-based POC technologies for applications that are beyond proof-of-concept to define their specific clinical needs, conduct clinical validation, and refine their technology, with the objective of accelerating the path to translation and clinical adoption and directly addressing the barriers thereof.
In Memory: Oliver Brand, PhD
April 15, 2023: We are sad to announce that our beloved Georgia Tech PI of the ACME POCT has passed away after a brief illness. A note of memorandum can be found here. Dr. Brand will be remembered for his honors and accomplishments as a world-renowned scientist, professor, microsensors guru, and director of one of the largest nanotechnology centers in the country, but most of all as a wonderful colleague and friend. We will miss him dearly.
