Affordable cervical cancer test holds life-preserving promise
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —
Cervical cancer killed 342,000 women around the world in 2020. According to the World Health Organization, the vast majority of these women — about 90% — lived in low- and middle-income countries where access to testing for early detection is either unaffordable or nonexistent.
Purdue researchers Jacqueline Linnes and Sulma Mohammed are determined to save lives by developing a low-cost, point-of-care paper test that could revolutionize cervical cancer detection worldwide.
