COVID-19 early detection kits are ready for pickup. Jack Lipton, chairperson of the College of Human Medicine’s Department of Translational Neuroscience, and his team lead the MSU COVID-19 Early Detection Program, an innovative program to detect asymptomatic people through saliva testing. Lipton’s team developed a low-cost solution for the university that allows users to collect their own samples with the Spartan Spit Kit. Since early detection remains critical to mitigating the spread of the novel coronavirus, MSU is asking all students, faculty and staff who are on campus or in the East Lansing area to enroll in the program.
