Experience
Global Social Impact Fellow (Sickle Cell Diagnostics in Sierra Leone)
Creative Inquiry Lehigh University
Nov 2023 — Present
SicklED is a student-led initiative at Lehigh University working towards creating a cost-effective, point-of-care sickle cell disease diagnostics device. Being a part of the team includes traveling to Sierra Leone(field work), lab work for the diagnostics, research, and using CAD to further develop educational materials implement in the healthcare system of Sierra Leone. We are actively researching and fabricating an effective lateral flow immunoassay to diagnose patients with sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait. We hope to eventually be able to implement our diagnostics in low and middle income countries, starting in Sierra Leone. In doing this, we hope to decrease the high infant mortality rate in this region of the world.
