Golden opportunity

The Ring

We use gold for jewelry, tooth fillings and Olympic medals—and soon for Zika detection. UVic chemist Alex Brolo is working with the precious metal to provide a faster (and inexpensive) way to diagnose devastating viruses such as Zika and dengue fever. Brolo is developing new ways to use gold nanostructures in medical applications.
