CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD)
Galaxy CCRO, Inc.,
announces the expansion of our clinical research projects to include pursuing the development of a field test for the detection of CWD in deer and cervids. Our solution will harness developments in protein detection technology, tissue imaging, artificial intelligence and environmental science to develop a rapid and sensitive test for CWD that hunters can use during field dressing.
