Seth Kimble with Robert DeisslerOptimization of Optical Based Malaria DetectionThe detection of malaria present in humans has been shown to be possible by measuring the absorption of laser light as a magnetic field is applied to a blood sample containing the paramagnetic malaria hemozoin. However, current systems rely on...
