Students help build worldwide antibody tracker

Tuesday, June 2, 2020

A group of Waterloo Engineering students have contributed to the COVID-19 cause by helping to develop an online dashboard to track and synthesize the results of antibody studies from around the world.

The five students - Nathan Duarte, Jordan Van Wyk, Austin Atmaja, Simona Rocco and Abel Joseph - teamed up with Canadians at universities in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, plus a federal task force of experts, to pull off the ambitious project.

"As we’ve seen this dashboard take off and evolve, it’s clear it has the potential to have a great impact,” said Rocco, a third-year biomedical engineering student. “It will hopefully help inform and speed up our return to normalcy.”
