IBUB is offering its human and technological resources for the implementation of the Orfeu program, an initiative of the Catalan Government aiming at performing high throughput diagnosis of SARS-Cov-2 infection among catalan population.
The IBUB thermocycler equipment have been diverted from research to diagnosis temporarily, and IBUB researchers and research assistants are collaborating in the management of the UB diagnostic nodes with the goal of achieving more than 50.000 Q-PCR diagnostic assays.
