Jesse vanWestrienen, Co-Founder & Biology Lead, Biomeme, Inc.

Quick, accurate testing for COVID-19 is critically important as states begin to loosen up social distancing. Enter Biomeme, a Pennsylvania-based biotech firm, with a system that allows sophisticated DNA testing to be done in virtually any location using a smartphone and a piece of lab equipment small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Non-professionals can be quickly trained to use it, and results come within an hour, instead of a day. Company co-founder Jesse vanWestrienen explains how it all works to Dr. Rishi Desai.
