    About This Project

    M. tuberculosis is slow growing pathogen, TB in early infection is difficult to diagnose correctly, so culture is the WHO-recommended gold standard for TB diagnosis, but it may take more than 1 to 3 months. The patient may inadvertently become a spreader while waiting for the results. We propose a solution using Raman spectroscopy that can detect pathogen more accurate than the current test. If our results are positive, we should be able to early detect and treat TB to prevent spread of disease.
