Dr Elías Kabbas Piñango
PhD Student (2018-2023)
Elías joined the Lamberton Lab in December 2018 aiming to develop a device capable of detecting a specific schistosome-related antigen, the circulating anodic antigen (CAA) with high sensitivity. This is an improvement to the current diagnostic methods, such as Kato-Katz and urine filtration, which often lack sensitivity; and antibody detection methods, which can lead to false positives as they can only detect exposure to the pathogen and immune recognition. This project was a collaboration with the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) and NG Biotech.
