Award Category: Health, Medical & Biotech

Award Sub-Category: Genomic and Stem Cell Innovations

NAMI’s NanoSwab is a biomimetic sampler tailored for male genital cell collection. Inspired by natural microstructure like setae, uniform micropillars on NanoSwab harness friction to collect and trap adequate cells in a single step for subsequent HPV DNA detection in men without any discomfort; it fills a critical gap in male-centric HPV screening.
