COVID-19 Testing Project

Team

We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers and physicians at UCSF, UC Berkeley, Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, and Innovative Genomics Institute.

Project overview

Antibody tests for prior exposure to SARS-CoV-2 virus are urgently needed. We are performing head-to-head comparisons of commercially available lateral flow assays (also known as rapid serology tests) and ELISA immunoassays. Importantly, we include an evaluation of test performance by time from symptom onset. Our goal is to provide an ongoing resource for reliable tests to inform the scientific and medical community, policy makers, and the general public.
