Invited seminar series: Ryo Iwamoto presents the QuickConc concentration method for wastewater surveillance
12 February, 2025
As part of the GAP-DC seminar series, we were delighted to host Ryo Iwamoto, Director of Research & Development at AdvanSentinel. The company specialises in environmental surveillance and infectious disease monitoring.
Ryo presented a seminar entitled:QuickConc: A Novel Approach for High-Sensitivity Detection of Nucleic Acids in Wastewater Surveillance'.
The talk provided fascinating insights into the development of innovative solutions for detecting low-concentration nucleic acids in complex water samples.
His recent work focuses on QuickConc, a high-sensitivity concentration method designed to enhance wastewater-based epidemiology.
Through academic and industrial collaborations, Ryo aims to advance the global implementation of environmental surveillance as a critical tool for public health.
The session concluded with a vibrant questions and answers sessions. Participants exchanged ideas and explored the complexities of this important area of genomic research.
