Learn more about your impact

We need your support today. Dedicated scientists are actively engaged to confront what may be one of the greatest challenges of our lifetime. We are currently mobilizing our knowledge, technologies and resources to blunt the (looming) threat that COVID-19 poses to our community and to people around the world. Biodesign research teams are up to the challenge — and committed to the development of robust community COVID testing capabilities, diagnostics, treatments, and virus tracking capabilities. Your generous gift is crucial to accelerating our pace to help us get there faster to save lives.
