Varro Life Sciences' medical devices can rapidly detect airborne pathogens including the flu, COVID, and RSV. The company is using a nanobody-based electrochemical biosensor platform for rapid detection of aerosolized pathogens.
“The biosensor that John (Cirrito) has developed, that we are developing at Varro, is called a micro immune electrode, MIE for short,” said Tom Cirrito, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder. “The MIE is the biosensor that is inside, it’s the secret sauce if you will, inside of the breath-based diagnostic and the air biodetector.”
The accomplished Cirrito Brothers, Tom and John, share their talents at Varro.
“We can detect viruses, we can detect bacteria, we can detect fungus, all depending on what we put on the surface of that electrode, all at the exact same time,” said John Cirrito, PhD, one of three WashU scientific founders of Varro.
He said the technology could lead the fight against the next pandemic. There are also military applications for threat detection.
